Ukraine peace talks end in Geneva after Zelenskyy says Russia stalling
U.S.-mediated talks in Geneva achieved military progress but political issues like territorial disputes remain unresolved, with both sides agreeing to continue negotiations soon.
- On Wednesday in Geneva, peace talks between Ukraine and Russia ended after two days, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky calling the meetings difficult and accusing Russia of deliberately delaying progress.
- Russia's push for territory involves demanding Ukraine withdraw from parts of the eastern Donbas, with concerns raised after Vladimir Medinsky's appointment to lead negotiations, signaling potential stall.
- Over two days of bilateral and trilateral talks, Steve Witkoff, U.S. special envoy, said the first day "brought about meaningful progress," while negotiators agreed on most ceasefire monitoring issues but left territory and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant unresolved.
- Both sides said they would meet again but no date was set, and Ukrainian government bonds fell as much as 1.9 cents on the dollar amid stalled progress, U.S. officials said.
- Vladimir Medinsky, Russia's chief negotiator, said the talks were difficult but businesslike and a new round will be held soon, while the Geneva talks included Jared Kushner and Russia occupies about 20% of Ukraine.
