Factbox-Spy and diplomat head Russian team at Ukraine talks with US in Riyadh

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. ian-team-at-ukraine-talks-with-us-in-riyadh.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Monday, March 24th 2025 at 5:41 GMT by Reuters}

A veteran of Russia's FSB security service and a former long-serving diplomat are representing Russia at the latest round of talks with the United States over Ukraine, taking place on Monday in Saudi Arabia.

The article from MSN discusses the composition of the Russian delegation at the Ukraine talks held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The team is led by Alexander Lavrentyev, Russia's special presidential envoy for Syria, who has a background in intelligence, having served in the KGB and its successor, the SVR. Accompanying him is Mikhail Bogdanov, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister and another former KGB officer, who also serves as the special representative for the Middle East and Africa. This delegation's presence underscores the high stakes and the complex diplomatic and intelligence dynamics at play in the negotiations concerning the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
