Question 1:
Direction for Reading Comprehension : The passage given here are followed by some question that have four answer choices; read the passage carefully and pick the option whose answer best aligns with the passage.
Russia struck a decidedly pessimistic note on Sunday, rendering the outlook for talks on Ukraine directly uncertain. The Kremlin has ruled out making any concessions under US pressure and demanded Western security guarantees. Misgivings that the forthcoming talks might end rather quickly are, therefore, not wholly unfounded.
Moscow’s hard line has underscored the fragile prospects for negotiations that the United States hopes will avert the danger of another Russia invasion of Ukraine. The raging tension in the former Soviet satellite has been described as the “tensest point” in US-Russia relations ever since the Cold War ended three decades ago.
While the talks are due in Geneva, Brussels and Vienna, the Russian deputy foreign minister. Sergei Ryabkov, has said it is entirely possibly that the art and craft of diplomacy could end abruptly after a single meeting.
“This is entirely possible scenario and the Americans should have no illusions about this. We will not make any concessions under pressure and in the course of threats that are constantly being formed by the western participants of the upcoming talks.” While Mr Ryabkov will lead the Russia delegation in Geneva, Moscow is not optimistic about going into the negotiations. Ergo, little or nothing can be expected from the impending talks on Ukraine, and over three rounds in Geneva, Brussels and Vienna.
Not for that matter does Washington expect a breakthrough, acutely aware as it is of the contretemps. The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, at best hopes to find some common ground, but short of a breakthrough. “I don’t think we are gong to see any breakthrough in the coming week”, he told CNN’s state of the Union. “ We are going to be able to put things on the table.
