Zelenskyy says Trump exerting undue pressure on Kyiv as Ukraine-Russia peace talks enter second day – Europe live

US-brokered negotiations in Switzerland began on Tuesday but expectations for breakthroughs are low News agencies, citing officials, are reporting that the peace talks in Geneva have ended. Reuters quoted one Ukrainian official as saying the talks lasted about two hours. Zelenskyy has described the talks with the US and Russia as “difficult” and accused Russia of “trying to drag out negotiations” when then could have reached the final stage. Yesterday there were meetings in different formats – both bilateral between Ukraine and the United States and multilateral formats. In particular, there were talks between Ukrainian, American, and Russian representatives … The Ukrainian delegation, together with the American team, also met with European representatives – from the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. We consider Europe’s participation in the process indispensable for the successful implementation of entirely feasible agreements – Ukraine has no doubt that partners are capable of ensuring the constructiveness of the negotiation process and, therefore, a dignified result.
