President Zelensky has indicated progress in discussions, emphasizing the need for security guarantees and territory issues to be addressed. Despite some lingering questions, negotiators have reported constructive dialogues, with Zelensky characterizing a recent call with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff as ‘substantive.’ The focus remains on securing a commitment from Russia to take peace negotiations seriously.
