Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy voiced hope on Saturday (February 14) that U.S.-brokered peace talks in Geneva next week would be substantive, but he said Ukraine was being asked "too often" to make concessions.

He also accused Moscow of seeking to delay decisions by changing its lead negotiator.

Ukrainian, Russian and American delegations are due to meet in the Swiss lakeside city on Tuesday and Wednesday as U.S. President Donald Trump seeks to push through a deal to end Europe's biggest war since 1945.

"We truly hope that the trilateral meetings next week will be serious, substantive, helpful for all us but honestly sometimes it feels like the sides are talking about completely different things," Zelenskiy said in a speech at the annual Munich Security Conference.
