AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine seeks a defined timeline for the next round of negotiations with Russia to end the ongoing war, which has been stalled partly due to the conflict in the Middle East. Zelenskyy emphasized the need for "clear dates" for discussions. Ukrainian negotiators are scheduled to meet in the United States to discuss US-brokered attempts to reach an agreement. Previous negotiation rounds in Geneva and Abu Dhabi failed due to territorial disputes, with Russia demanding Ukraine cede 20% of the Donetsk region. Ukraine seeks security guarantees from Western allies as part of any potential agreement. Zelenskyy indicated the US is ready to continue facilitating negotiations.
