The second day of US-mediated peace talks between Ukraine and Russia concluded after just two hours, a significant reduction from the previous day's six-hour session, as reported by BBC World. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy acknowledged 'progress' on the military track but noted that discussions on political issues, particularly territorial control in eastern Ukraine, yielded only 'dialogue' without substantial advancements. The short duration of the talks has raised concerns about the future of negotiations, with both sides remaining far apart on key issues.
