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."

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.
