Geneva, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) — Delegations from Ukraine and the United States began talks in Geneva, Switzerland, on Thursday as part of efforts to end the long-running Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Ukraine's chief negotiator, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, Rustem Umerov, announced on social media that a meeting had begun with US Presidential Special Envoy Steven Witkoff and US Presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner.
As R. Umerov promised, the delegations "will carefully work out a package of measures to ensure prosperity: mechanisms for economic support and recovery of Ukraine, instruments for attracting investment, and a framework for long-term cooperation."
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in turn, wrote in X that he had a telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump and discussed issues that will be discussed during a bilateral meeting on Thursday, as well as preparations for the next round of trilateral talks between Ukraine, the United States, and Russia, which is scheduled for early March.
"We expect that the current meeting will create an opportunity to take the negotiations to the leaders' level," Zelensky said.
Delegations from Ukraine, Russia, and the United States previously held two rounds of talks in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates) on January 23-24 and February 4-5, and then another round in Geneva on February 17-18, which failed to reach agreement on key issues.
