The second day of US-mediated peace talks between Ukraine and Russia in Geneva concluded after just two hours, significantly shorter than the previous day's six-hour session. 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' and no substantial advancements. The head of Russia's delegation confirmed the brevity of the talks, indicating ongoing difficulties in reaching a consensus, as reported by the South China Morning Post and Euronews. The lack of clarity on the negotiations' outcomes underscores the challenges both sides face in addressing territorial disputes, a major sticking point in the discussions, as highlighted by the New York Times.
