The course of negotiations and the positions of the parties

The negotiations were held behind closed doors. Security guards provided strict security measures, restricting journalists' access to the meeting place. Rustem Umerov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, said that the work was carried out within the framework of the political and military blocs.

The delegations focused on clarifying the decision-making mechanisms that were discussed on the first day. Representatives of Ukraine refrained from making detailed comments to the press directly at the venue of the meeting, citing the need for reports to the leadership.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is promptly provided with all information about the discussions in Switzerland.

"Of course, there are direct reports to the president," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

The Kremlin noted that it is premature to give a final assessment of the results of the Geneva meeting. According to Peskov, the Russian leader needs to wait for the full completion of this round of negotiations.
