Following Monday's US-Russia talks in Riyadh, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Moscow advocates renewing the Black Sea initiative in a more acceptable form for all actors. Moscow is concerned about the food security of countries in Africa, the Global South and East, which are suffering from the "games of the West," Lavrov added.
A multipolar world has already begun to "take shape," Mikatekiso Kubayi, a senior researcher in international relations at UNISA's Institute for Global Dialogue, told Sputnik Africa while discussing the latest round of the US-Russia talks that took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Monday.
"The reality is that a multipolar world has already begun to take shape. [...] Unipolarity of the old world is sort of fading, there's a new reality, the United States has acknowledged that much and is trying to protect its interests in that new reality," Kubayi said.
The increasing strength of powers like Russia, India, China, and Brazil is challenging the traditional unipolar dominance of the US, the researcher pointed out.
"For now, the question is what then would be the nature or character of this multipolarity? And that is something that the global community has to negotiate and decide," he noted.
Talks on Ukraine Should be Genuine & Sincere to Achieve Lasting Peace
"Experience is a good teacher and Russia would be well aware of what has been done in the past and would, of course, be more circumspect this time around," the researcher said, commenting on Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's recent statement that Moscow cannot take the Kiev regime "at its word," given its past actions undermining the peace process.
Honesty and forthrightness are paramount for achieving a lasting peace, the expert explained, stressing that without honesty, any peace achieved will be short-lived.
"The world is watching. The world is aware of the history; the world is a witness to what has been dishonest in the past, and the world does not have any further appetite for conflict and violence and so on; it has to come to an end," Kubayi added.
