Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, mediated by the United States in Geneva, ended abruptly on Wednesday without any tangible progress. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the discussions as difficult and accused Russia of deliberately prolonging the process. He claimed on social media that Moscow was using tactics to delay reaching a final peace agreement. According to Russian state media, the meeting concluded shortly after Zelensky’s remarks. Russian chief negotiator Vladimir Medinsky said another round of talks would be held soon, though no date was set.
The talks reportedly lasted about two hours, while some Russian sources described them as highly tense and lasting up to six hours in multiple formats. U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff said the dialogue brought meaningful progress toward ending the war, and both sides agreed to continue discussions. However, Russia maintained its demand for Ukrainian troop withdrawal from parts of eastern Ukraine, which Kyiv rejected outright.
Separately, Zelensky announced sanctions against Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, accusing him of aiding in the killing of Ukrainians. Russian official Nikolai Patrushev warned that Moscow could deploy its navy if Western nations attempted to seize Russian oil tankers under sanctions.
