New Diplomacy on the Horizon: U.S. and Russia Push Ahead Without Ukraine

  In a bold shift from previous diplomatic efforts, top U.S. and Russian officials have agreed to advance negotiations aimed at ending the war in Ukraine—even as Ukrainian representatives remain notably absent. High-level talks held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, saw U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov discussing the framework for future peace negotiations and steps toward restoring bilateral relations. The Trump administration’s approach, which prioritizes direct engagement with Moscow, marks a departure from longstanding principles that insisted on “nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.” Critics in Kyiv have voiced strong opposition. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that any agreement reached without Ukraine’s participation would be unacceptable and would undermine the nation’s sovereignty.

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Power struggles of one kind or another are likely over the coming year and you will need to be at your sharpest to work out which side to back. Better still, sit it out on the sidelines while others fight for supremacy. Let their stupidity work for you.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

When the sun moves into one of the better areas of your chart on Thursday your confidence and your energy levels will soar. Today though you must turn your attention to sorting out a problem for someone you love. They’ve tied themselves up in knots again.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Let everyone around you know that you will not be pushed around and you will not be dictated to. The more insistent others become that you change your ways the more you must dig in your heels and refuse to budge. You’re good at that.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

As Pluto moves into one of the more outgoing areas of your chart today you won’t be shy about telling people what to think and how to behave. Don’t be too pushy though or you risk turning against you someone who could be a really good friend.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

The more you are pressed to make an instant decision about a money matter or business issue the more you must hold off until you have more information. The planets warn that someone is trying to manoeuvre you in a way that only benefits them.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

As power planet Pluto moves into the partnership area of your chart today you must be ready to fight off attempts to force you to do things you don’t feel comfortable with. Others may outrank you but you are not obliged to obey their orders.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You may be determined to have your say, and that’s a good thing, but the planets indicate you will do better in the long term if you tone down your act a bit now. If you draw attention to yourself today it could end badly for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

If that little voice at the back of your head tells you to avoid certain people you must listen to what it says so you don’t get dragged into a situation that can only end in tears. Be especially wary of people who claim to know all the answers.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

The sun in your sign links with Neptune today, encouraging you to be generous with your time and your energy. If you go out of your way to help someone in need now the universe will go out of its way to help you later on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

If you get through the day without losing your temper you will have done very well indeed. Someone who has been annoying you for quite a long time is about to be reminded that if you mess with a fire sign you risk getting burned!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

You need to be on your guard today as someone will try to play on your fears and nudge you toward making a silly mistake. Now that you know that you can take steps to keep them at arm’s length. You don’t HAVE to interact with them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Pluto’s move into your sign today marks the start of a new phase, one in which you will be required to take on more responsibility and step up to a leadership role. Don’t doubt yourself. You’ve got what it takes to reach the very top.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Question everything you see and hear on the work front over the next 24 hours. The planets warn that even people whose advice has been good for you in the past may try to mislead you, because they themselves have been misled by others.
