According to TSN.ua: On February 26, Rustem Umerov will hold a bilateral meeting in Geneva with American businessman Steve Witkoff. The discussions will focus on Ukraine's recovery, preparations for a trilateral meeting with Russia, and matters concerning prisoner exchanges. This meeting is a significant step in the broader context of peace negotiations, with the trilateral talks with Russia scheduled for early March.

Key Issues Under Discussion

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has tasked Umerov with negotiating the details of the exchange, while emphasizing the critical need to prepare an economic document.

"The first issue is the prosperity package, which is the plan for Ukraine's recovery; the details will be discussed," stated Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Zelenskyy further clarified that "in parallel, we are working on a 20-point plan, security guarantees, and the 'prosperity package'." The sequence of steps to end the war will be a central topic, a critical consideration in the current geopolitical landscape.
