Geneva Talks: Day Two

According to Novyny.live: A second round of three-way talks involving Ukraine, the United States, and Russia took place in Geneva on February 18. While the parties agreed not to disclose specific details, discussions are known to be focused on practical matters and the mechanics of potential solutions. These high-stakes meetings are part of a critical diplomatic effort to address the ongoing crisis.

The first round of these negotiations began on February 17. Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council Secretary, Rustem Umerov, declined to answer press questions during the meeting but reported progress in the talks, noting that it was not yet possible to provide specifics.

Core Challenges Under Discussion

The most complex issues under discussion remain territorial disputes and the status of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed the initial outcomes of the Geneva talks, pointing to two main tracks—military and political. According to him,

“progress has been made in one of them.”

Thus, the trilateral negotiations continue, though the details and next steps remain undisclosed. The choice of Geneva as a venue underscores the role of neutral ground in facilitating such sensitive international diplomacy.
