Ukrainian, Russian Meet For Second Day Of Talks As US Cites 'Meaningful Progress'
"Consultations are taking place...under the direction of the political and military groups,"
"We are working to clarify the parameters and mechanics of the solutions that were discussed yesterday. We are focused on substantive work."
"Both parties agreed to update their respective leaders and continue working towards a deal,"
"have given no indication that they're willing to make any changes from their maximum demands,"
Ukrainian and Russian officials met in Geneva for US-brokered trilateral talks aimed at ending Russia's four-year all-out war. Meetings focused on territorial claims and security guarantees, the principal obstacles to halting the conflict. Negotiators worked under political and military direction to clarify parameters and mechanics of potential solutions while agreeing to update their leaders and continue negotiations. The talks represented more progress than at other times since the 2022 invasion, yet Russia maintained hard-line territorial demands and Ukraine pressed for binding security guarantees from the United States and European allies. Analysts warned that without a cease-fire broader agreements remain uncertain.
