The first day of a new round of trilateral talks among Ukraine, the United States and Russia concluded here on Tuesday, with negotiations set to continue on Wednesday, reported Xinhua.
"After the joint session, we continued working in groups by areas. The discussions focused on practical issues and the mechanisms of possible solutions," Ukraine's chief negotiator Rustem Umerov, also Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council Secretary, wrote on social media platform X after the talks.
He added that the results of the first day of negotiations will be reported to the President of Ukraine.
The negotiations, held behind closed doors, are expected to address territorial issues, military matters, political and economic concerns, as well as security arrangements, Russia's state news agency TASS reported.
Russia's delegation includes presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin and other officials, the Kremlin confirmed on Monday.
The United States is represented by presidential envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, son-in-law of the U.S. president.
Two previous rounds of trilateral talks, held in Abu Dhabi on Jan. 23-24 and Feb. 4-5 this year, focused on potential disengagement between Russian and Ukrainian forces, ceasefire monitoring mechanisms and the establishment of a coordination center, but did not resolve key territorial issues.
