Zelensky Walks Out Of Geneva Peace Talks After Two Hours

Two hours. Then Zelensky walked.

The second day of peace talks in Geneva ended abruptly Wednesday morning. Ukrainian and Russian officials barely had time to open their binders before Zelensky called it quits.

Zelensky’s complaint? Russia isn’t serious. They’re stalling while his country bleeds.

From Reuters:

“Zelenskiy wrote on X that Russia was ‘trying to drag out negotiations that could already have reached the final stage.’ The Ukrainian president said he was dissatisfied with the lack of progress in Geneva, insisting that ‘sensitive political matters’ and the need for compromise had not been addressed properly.”

He didn’t stick around to find out if hour three would be different.

The White House sent Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to mediate. Their read after the walkout: some progress was made.
