Symbolic peace talks – are they just window dressing?

Hey folks, I saw the latest round of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine. The ceremony was packed with symbolism – flags, gestures, the whole diplomatic theatre – but it feels like the core disagreements are still miles apart. 🤔 From a startup perspective, I’m used to pivoting quickly when the fundamentals shift, but this conflict seems stuck in a dead‑end loop. Do you think these high‑profile meetings are actually moving the needle, or are they just a PR exercise for the players involved? What would it take for a real breakthrough, in your view?
