Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported progress at the end of discussions held between Ukrainian, Russian, and American parties in Geneva regarding the verification mechanisms for a potential ceasefire. Zelensky stated that while there have been achievements in the understanding of how to monitor a ceasefire, the necessary political agreement remains elusive.

In a voice message to journalists, Zelensky emphasized the military's capabilities in monitoring both a ceasefire and the war's conclusion when there is political will. This aspect points to the ongoing complexities surrounding the negotiations and the existing tensions among the involved nations.

While some technical steps may have been made towards establishing a ceasefire framework, the lack of political consensus highlights the challenges that still lie ahead. The situation continues to be precarious, and the stakeholders must navigate a fraught landscape as they seek to establish more lasting peace in the region.
