No breakthrough, no breakdown in Russia-Ukraine talks in Geneva

On February 18, 2026, Ukraine and Russia held a third round of peace talks in Geneva. According to Al Jazeera's Osama Bin Javaid, the talks did not collapse, but neither did they produce any significant progress or breakthroughs. The purpose of the talks was to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict between the two nations. While the discussions continued, no concrete results were achieved during this round of negotiations. The report indicates a stalemate, with neither a positive outcome nor a complete failure of the diplomatic effort.
