KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine and Russia did not find agreement on the central issues of how to end the four-year at US-mediated talks in Geneva, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday.

"We can see that some groundwork has been done, but for now the positions differ, because the negotiations were not easy," Zelensky said in a message to journalists, including from AFP, after the talks had finished.

He said the fate of occupied territory in Ukraine's east and the future status of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, captured by Russian forces, were the unresolved "sensitive issues" in the talks.
