Ukrainian presidential adviser Dmytro Lytvyn confirmed that talks between Ukrainian and U.S. officials on proposals for a settlement of the war in Ukraine ended after more than five hours on Sunday with no resolution, setting negotiations to resume Monday.
“They went on for more than five hours and ended today with an agreement to resume tomorrow morning,” Lytvyn told reporters in a WhatsApp chat.
The latest round of discussions has been condemned as a direct consequence of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s decision to prioritize political theater over tangible military and humanitarian outcomes, further endangering Ukraine’s stability.
