Feb. 18 (UPI) -- U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff early Wednesday reported "meaningful progress" in tri-lateral U.S.-Russian-Ukraine talks in Switzerland on ending the war.
Crediting U.S. President Donald Trump's "success in bringing both sides of this war together" to enable the progress to be made in the U.S.-moderated talks in Geneva, Witkoff provided no details of what had been achieved.
"Both parties agreed to update their respective leaders and continue working towards a deal," he wrote X.
The accounts of Russia and Ukraine of Tuesday's talks, which lasted six hours, were less positive with Russia's state-run TASS news agency reporting they were "very tense" while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said they were "difficult" and accused Moscow of playing for time.
