Moscow, 24 January 2026 (dpa/MIA) - The second day of trilateral talks between Kiev, Moscow and Washington on ending the Russian war in Ukraine has concluded.

The delegations have returned to their hotels and there are no plans to continue on Saturday, the Russian state news agency TASS cited sources close to the negotiations as saying. No concrete results have been announced yet.

The negotiations are aimed at finding a way to end the war against Ukraine ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin almost four years ago in February 2022.

Russia is demanding that Ukraine cede territory, abandon its hopes of NATO membership, and give up its powerful army in order to end the violence.

Ukraine has refused to withdraw further from areas not yet occupied by Russian military forces. Acting as mediator, the US wants to persuade both sides to compromise.

Information leaked from negotiations suggests both warring parties are generally satisfied with the progress of the talks so far.

There are results, but these will be announced by those responsible at home, TASS quoted a member of the Russian negotiating delegation as saying.

Ukraine also assessed the negotiations as "positive" and "constructive," Axios political observer Barak Ravid wrote on X.

It's thought the talks could resume as early as next week.
