The discussions between Ukraine and Russia return to Geneva, under the mediation of the USA, after tense negotiations. Progress is stalled, especially regarding Donbas.

Ukraine and Russia are preparing to resume discussions in Geneva, mediated by the USA, in an attempt to find a solution after four years of conflict. Previous negotiations have been tense and showed little progress. The three delegations met behind closed doors, and discussions focused on priority areas, including political and military aspects. The parties are working based on an American plan that involves territorial concessions from Ukraine in exchange for security guarantees. However, discussions are stalled regarding Donbas, where Russia demands the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces, a request rejected by Kiev.

Despite pressures from American President Donald Trump for a diplomatic resolution, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed doubts about the Kremlin's intentions to negotiate. Additionally, Russia has intensified attacks on Ukraine, targeting energy infrastructure, which further complicates the negotiation process. This situation reflects the persistent tensions and complexity of the conflict, despite international mediation efforts.
