Zelenskyy: Geneva Talks Yield Limited Progress, No Agreement on Territory

• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Kyiv and Moscow made some progress in US-mediated Geneva talks but failed to agree on territory.
• Negotiations, part of a US push to end the nearly four-year war, saw Russia seeking full control of Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region.
• Ukraine rejected Russia's demand as unacceptable, insisting on firm security guarantees against future aggression.
• Agreement was reached on a ceasefire monitoring mechanism, including the US, but sensitive issues like occupied territories and Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant remain unresolved.
• Further negotiations are planned, with Russia occupying about one-fifth of Ukraine, including Crimea and Moscow-backed separatist areas.
