Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on Wednesday that no agreement was reached on key issues during the latest round of US-mediated peace talks with Russia in Geneva. He accused Moscow of dragging out the negotiations, according to the AFP news agency.
Zelenskyy described the talks as 'not easy' and noted that positions remain far apart. The unresolved 'sensitive' issues include the fate of occupied territories in eastern Ukraine and the future of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which is currently under Russian control.
The negotiations, which took place in Switzerland, ended without a major breakthrough as the war approaches its fifth year. Fighting continues on the ground, with no sign of de-escalation.
In related developments, Ukraine has imposed sanctions on Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko for providing military support to Russia. Additionally, Slovakia threatened to cut emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine unless Kyiv reopens a pipeline carrying Russian oil to Slovakia and Hungary.
