US EditionKremlin says next round of peace talks on Ukraine is set for next week

- Russia confirmed Geneva talks on Feb. 17-18, with Vladimir Medinsky leading, as Peskov said, `There is an agreement that it will indeed take place next week. We will inform you about the venue and dates.`
- After two failed US-mediated rounds earlier this month, talks aim to broker an end to the four-year war as Kyiv and Moscow remain divided over territory and ceasefire terms.
- Observers point to Vladimir Medinsky's past use of fabricated quotes and propaganda, as the former Russian culture minister and presidential aide authored history textbooks in occupied areas and critics warn his rhetoric could harden Moscow's stance.
- Ukraine's delegation, led by Rustem Umerov, will attend the Geneva talks, which are expected to test whether competing plans can be reconciled, with territorial issues likely to top the agenda.
- Zelensky's earlier Miami acceptance added venue confusion as United States officials proposed talks there Monday and Tuesday amid stepped-up Russian strikes along the roughly 1,250-kilometer front line.
