In Geneva, Ukraine and Russia participated in intense negotiations, facilitated by the United States, aiming to find a resolution to the conflict that has persisted for four years. A source linked to the Russian delegation described the talks as "very tense," and confirmed that they would resume tomorrow following a lengthy six-hour discussion that ended without any breakthroughs. The atmosphere was marked by caution, with representatives downplaying expectations for immediate results.

The closed-door meetings included advisors from four European nations—Germany, the UK, Italy, and France—who were present to support the negotiating efforts. Reports indicated that there were also plans for discussions between the advisors and the Ukrainian and US delegations on the sidelines. However, specific details about these interactions remain unclear, and there has been no elaboration on the progress or proposals emerging from these preliminary discussions.

As the talks continue, it reflects the complexity and high stakes involved in finding a diplomatic solution to the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. With continued international involvement from the US and European nations, the outcome of these negotiations could have significant implications for regional stability and international relations, particularly regarding security and peace in Eastern Europe.
