The renewed negotiations represent Washington’s latest effort to end the Russia-Ukraine war, with prisoner exchanges and security guarantees reportedly among the issues under discussion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the initial session substantive, while officials indicated that the meetings produced no major breakthrough. Further discussions are expected, but the outlook remains uncertain because the sides continue to disagree over territorial control and the terms of any final settlement.
