Geneva Talks Conclude with Ukraine Accusing Russia of Delay

Peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, held in Geneva under US mediation, have concluded without an immediate agreement. Russian sources report that further talks will be held soon, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of seeking to delay the process, arguing that negotiations could have already reached their final stage. The talks were described as "difficult" by the Ukrainian side, with Zelenskyy expressing the view that Russia is attempting to prolong the negotiations. US mediation continues, and the situation remains uncertain.
