Talks about the war in Ukraine finished this week. Russia, Ukraine, and the United States met. They wanted to stop the fighting. But they did not agree on a big thing. The main problem is about land. This caused the war.
The meeting was on Wednesday. It was for two hours. Both sides said it was hard. Russia's talker said it was "difficult." Ukraine's leader agreed. There was no big deal. But the talks were serious.
The biggest problem was land. Russia wants land in eastern Ukraine. Ukraine does not agree. This stopped a quick stop to fighting. They did talk about soldiers. They talked about where fighting happens. They also talked about watching a stop. They might agree here. But the land was too big.
The United States helped. Envoy Steve Witkoff was there. Talks will continue. Both sides want peace. They will keep talking. This shows talking is important.
Russia and Ukraine talked alone after. This shows the talks are hard. Another meeting will happen soon. They are still talking. Peace is not here yet. The talks are important for the war.
