Two days of peace talks in Geneva among Ukraine, the United States and Russia ended on Wednesday without a breakthrough as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he was dissatisfied with the outcome while Washington reported "meaningful progress."

Officials from Moscow and Kyiv said the discussions in Geneva were difficult. At the conclusion, the delegations said they would meet again, without providing a date, while Zelenskyy and the White House suggested discussions could occur soon.

Ukraine has faced sustained pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump to agree to a deal that could mean painful concessions, as Russian forces pound its power grid and slowly advance on the battlefield.

Zelenskyy, speaking in his nightly video address, said, "As of today, we cannot say that the result is sufficient.

"The military discussed certain issues seriously and substantively. Sensitive political matters, possible compromises and the necessary meeting of leaders have not yet been sufficiently addressed."

He said it was important that European representatives were present in Geneva and described holding a next round of talks later this month as appropriate.

In Washington, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said there was "meaningful progress made" with pledges "to continue to work towards a peace deal together."

Leavitt suggested there would be another set of talks soon. But she said Trump viewed the situation, nearly four years into the war, as "very unfair, not just for Russians and Ukrainians who have lost their lives" but also for U.S. taxpayers who have provided financial support to Ukraine.

In Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia's negotiating team would brief President Vladimir Putin on the talks and acknowledged the delegation's leader had called the discussions "difficult."

As the two sides met for a second day with mediation by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, Zelenskyy wrote on X that Russia was "trying to drag out negotiations that could already have reached the final stage."

Moments after his statement, the delegations broke off the talks.
