GENEVA, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- Ukraine-U.S. talks in Geneva concluded and preparations are underway for the next round of negotiations, Ukraine's chief negotiator Rustem Umerov said Thursday evening in a post on X.
Umerov, Ukraine's national security and defense council secretary, said the objective is to make the next trilateral meeting involving the United States and Russia "as substantive as possible."
Umerov said particular attention during the latest meetings was devoted to Ukraine's economic track and long-term support mechanisms. Together with the Ukrainian government's economic team and American partners, the Ukrainian side conducted a detailed review of a document on Ukraine's recovery.
He said the parties agreed that their respective teams would continue refining the document, with a focus on future reconstruction and the investment plan.
Ukrainian and U.S. delegations began talks here on Thursday afternoon as part of the efforts to end the years-long Ukraine-Russia conflict.
The Ukrainian, Russian and U.S. delegations previously held two rounds of talks in Abu Dhabi on Jan. 23-24 and Feb. 4-5, followed by another round in Geneva on Feb. 17-18, yielding no agreement on key issues. ■
