Peace talks between Ukraine and Russia ended in Geneva on Wednesday after two days of negotiations marked by disputes over territory and security. The US-mediated discussions closed after a two-hour session on Wednesday, following six hours of talks on Tuesday held in bilateral and trilateral formats. Both sides said they would meet again, though no date was set. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the negotiations as “difficult” and accused Moscow of slowing the process.
