What significant achievement came out of the recent U.S.-Russia meeting regarding Ukraine peace talks?

The recent meeting marked a critical diplomatic breakthrough by reopening high-level conversations between the U.S. and Russia that had been absent for years. While this is viewed as just the first step in what will likely be a lengthy process of Ukrainian peace negotiations, officials are considering it a success. This initial meeting doesn't resolve the conflict, but represents the beginning of renewed diplomatic engagement between major powers after a prolonged period of strained relations. The resumption of high-level dialogue between the U.S. and Russia creates a foundation for potentially more substantive peace talks involving Ukraine in the future.
