M004-SUIZA CONVERSACIONES GINEBRA

STORY: Representatives of Ukraine and Russia will meet in Geneva on Tuesday (February 17) and Wednesday (February 18) for a fresh round of U.S.-mediated peace talks that the Kremlin says are likely to focus on land, the main sticking point.

U.S. President Donald Trump is pressing Moscow and Kyiv to reach a deal to end Europe's biggest war since 1945, though Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has complained that his country is facing the greatest pressure to make concessions.

Russia is demanding that Ukraine cede the remaining 20% of the eastern region of Donetsk that Moscow has failed to capture - something Kyiv refuses to do.

The venue has switched to the Swiss lakeside city after Abu Dhabi hosted two rounds of talks that both sides described as constructive but which failed to reach any major breakthrough.
