Talks in Geneva between the US and Ukraine aimed at ending the war with Russia have concluded, with officials from both sides reporting "progress" and an intention to continue the work.
However, no details have emerged on how to bridge the significant gap between Moscow and Kiev over territorial issues and security guarantees for Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the "important steps" that had been taken, but warned that the "main problem" facing peace talks was Vladimir Putin's demand for legal recognition of Russian-occupied territories in eastern Ukraine.
"This would violate the principle of territorial integrity and sovereignty," he said, highlighting concerns that Moscow could be rewarded for its aggression with forcibly occupied land.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump suggested on social media that "something good may be happening," but with the proviso: "Don't believe it until you see it."
The Geneva talks did not include Russian representatives and the Kremlin said it had received no information on the outcome of the discussions. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that Moscow was aware that "adjustments" had been made to the plan that had been welcomed by Putin.
