Ukrainian negotiator Umerov says he will hold one more meeting with U.S. team

Ukrainian negotiators are scheduled to hold another round of talks with U.S. officials on Sunday to discuss efforts to end the ongoing war with Russia. Top Ukrainian negotiator Rustem Umerov expressed hope for progress, highlighting that discussions have been both "constructive and substantive."

In a statement shared on the Telegram messenger platform, Umerov emphasized the importance of continued dialogue, saying, "We are counting on further progress and practical results." This upcoming meeting follows a series of talks held earlier in the week, where teams from Ukraine, the U.S., and Europe engaged in discussions on the war's resolution.

The negotiations come at a critical time as Ukraine seeks to gain international support for a peaceful settlement to the conflict, which has caused significant disruption in the region. Umerov’s remarks suggest that both Ukrainian and U.S. officials are committed to finding a practical way forward. As the war with Russia continues, these discussions are expected to play a key role in shaping the next steps toward a potential peace agreement.

The meeting on Sunday will further test the willingness of all parties involved to take substantial steps toward peace, as the Ukrainian team remains focused on ensuring practical outcomes that can pave the way for an end to the conflict.
