THE ANALYSIS OF AN ARTICLE
Planning article analysis
There are several stages in analyzing and presenting an article that can be grouped around the following steps:
1. Read the article and understand its topic.
2. Identify the message (the central, main idea).
3. Sort out the key issues and organize your thoughts around them.
4. Express your attitude to the key issues and your opinion of the author’s
position.
5. Make notes about additional facts and updated information to support your
position.
6. Present the analysis.
You have to read and understand the article and its key issues. But it is not
enough just to know what the author of the article writes about. You are also
84

expected to show that you can critically evaluate the facts and views presented in the article. This means being able to form your own informed opinions about them. To make the process of organizing your thoughts and ideas better structured you should consider the following questions while reading the article:
1. What is the title of the article? Who and where is it published by?
2. What is the author’s aim? (To present some new information? To persuade? To
discuss a problem? To solve a problem?)
3. Is the message clear? Is it explicit, clearly stated? Is it evident throughout the
article? Comment on the author’s presentation of fact. Distinguish between
facts and author’s opinion.
4. What kind of tone is the article written in?
5. What is your impression of the article? Does it make an interesting reading?

Secretary of State Marco Rubio's last-minute decision to cancel means there will be no foreign ministers meeting in London for Ukraine peace talks, but presidential envoy Steve Witkoff will still go to Moscow.

LONDON - European diplomats pulled the plug on high-level talks set for Wednesday about ending
Russia's war in Ukraine after top U.S. diplomats abruptly canceled plans to attend.
The disruption comes amid anger in Washington over Ukraine's reluctance to accept controversial proposals to cede territory to Russia and Kyiv's preference "to discuss a complete ceasefire first and everything else later," said an official briefed on the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the tense political moment.
Lower level talks carried on Wednesday in London, but a foreign ministers' meeting will no longer take place, according to a diplomat in London familiar with the planning. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, who was set to host his peers, will instead "drop in" on the lower-level sessions.
"The foreign minister-level meeting isn't happening," said the diplomat familiar with the talks, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal deliberations. "We're hopeful as per the Rubio tweet that a meeting in London can happen soon, but without Witkoff, the secretary of state, the French and German foreign ministers, there's no reason for the foreign secretary to chair."
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio had been scheduled to fly to London on Tuesday night but canceled those plans midday. Steve Witkoff, a special envoy and close ally of President Donald Trump central to White House efforts to broker an end to the war, also dropped out. He will head to Moscow this week, according to the Russians.
Vice President JD Vance, traveling in India on Wednesday, repeated warnings that the United States would walk away from its efforts to broker a peace accord if Moscow and Kyiv didn't reach an agreement soon.
"We've issued a very explicit proposal to both the Russians and the Ukrainians, and it's time for them to either say yes or for the United States to walk away from this process," he told reporters in Agra while visiting the Taj Mahal. "We're going to see if the Europeans, the Russians and the Ukrainians are ultimately able to get this thing over the finish line."
He said the proposal would freeze the current battle lines to where they are today while a long-term diplomatic settlement was achieved. Both sides would have to give up some territory they currently control, Vance said.
There have been no public statements about territory Russia would give up. Russian forces currently control about 20 percent of Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rebuffed a suggestion that was floated by Witkoff that Washington would formally recognize annexed Crimea as Russian territory in exchange for Moscow ending the fighting. The deal would call for the eventual lifting of sanctions against Russia under a future accord, according to three people familiar with the matter.
Zelensky told reporters Tuesday that Ukraine would not recognize Crimea as Russian, noting that it would violate the country's constitution to do so. "There is nothing to talk about. This violates our constitution. This is our territory, the territory of the people of Ukraine," he said. The U.S. proposal, however, is only about U.S. recognition and would not force Ukraine to accept Russia's 2014 annexation of the peninsula, people familiar with it said.
Already en route when Rubio canceled his trip, the Ukrainian team continued on to London. Upon arrival, Zelensky's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, said the delegation, which included Defense Minister Rustem Umerov and Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha, was ready to continue working for peace "despite everything."
"We will discuss ways to achieve a full and unconditional ceasefire as the first step toward a comprehensive settlement and a just and lasting peace," Yermak said.
The State Department played down the significance of Rubio's last-minute decision to skip the London meeting, made just hours before he was scheduled to take off.
"Secretary Rubio is a busy man," State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said. *While the meetings in London are still occurring, he will not be attending, but that is not a statement regarding the meetings. It's a statement about logistical issues in his schedule."The Russians, watching from the sidelines, said the collapse of the London talks showed how far apart Ukrainian and American officials remain on the basic contours of a peace deal.
"As far as we understand, it has not yet been possible to reconcile positions on some issues, which is why this meeting has not taken place yet," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday. "We continue our contacts with the Americans. We have no contacts with the Europeans; we have no contacts with the Ukrainians, either, although President [Vladimir] Putin remains open to such contacts in the interest of reconciliation."
Ukraine's ambassador to the Vatican, Andrii Yurash, called for high-level talks to resume in Rome this weekend, when Zelensky, Trump and other leaders are expected to attend the funeral of Pope Francis on
Saturday.
"Any number of meetings at various levels is entirely possible," Yurash said during a television appearance in Ukraine.
Ukraine's hopes for progress on a viable ceasefire ahead of any concessions are grounded in the unrelenting Russian attacks on the country.
In a Telegram post on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pointed to a morning Russian drone attack on a bus that killed nine people and injured dozens of others, saying Ukrainian officials "insist on an immediate, full, and unconditional ceasefire."
At least nine people were killed and another 43 injured on after a Russian drone struck a bus of factory workers in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, officials said.
"It is entirely possible. But only possible if Russia agrees and stops the killings," Zelensky said, noting that Russia failed to accept a U.S. proposal for such a truce last month. He said that Putin's Easter truce decreased fighting along the front and allowed Ukraine a reprieve from air alerts and Ukraine hoped to extend it. Ukraine is now requesting at least an agreement to stop attacks on civilians. "This should be a shared first priority with all partners - saving lives,
' he said.
