"We can see that some groundwork has been done, but for now the positions differ, because the negotiations were not easy, he told reporters after the talks. Zelenskyy said the status of Russian-occupied territories in eastern Ukraine and the future of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which remains under Moscow's control, were among the most contentious unresolved issues. He added that discussions had taken place along military and political tracks, including how any potential ceasefire might be implemented, describing the military channel as constructive."
"The latest round of US-mediated peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Geneva on Wednesday ended without a major breakthrough, as fighting continues in a war that will enter its fifth year next week. Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said no agreement had been reached on the thorniest questions at the negotiations in Switzerland, accusing Moscow of trying to drag out the process."
US-mediated peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Geneva ended without a major breakthrough as the conflict nears its fifth year. No agreement was reached on the thorniest questions, and Moscow was accused of trying to drag out the process. Some groundwork was made, but positions still differed and negotiations were difficult. Contentious issues included the status of Russian-occupied territories in eastern Ukraine and the future of the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Discussions occurred on military and political tracks, including how a ceasefire might be implemented, with the military channel described as constructive. The second day lasted two hours. Russia's lead negotiator called the talks difficult but businesslike and said further rounds were planned.
