Ukrainian, Russian and US officials met in Geneva for a third round of US-mediated negotiations aimed at ending the war, days before the four-year anniversary of the invasion. Talks ran through political and military tracks and concentrated on practical issues and mechanisms for possible solutions, with work continuing in groups by area. Sessions lasted about six hours and were described as very tense by a source close to the Russian delegation. Negotiators paused after completing daily work and agreed to resume the following day. Previous rounds in Abu Dhabi produced no breakthrough. Russia continues to demand Ukraine cede land in eastern Donetsk.
