Unidentified participants say Geneva talks built progress toward ending the war in Ukraine; envoy to visit Moscow
Speaker 1, an unidentified participant, said the meeting "built on Geneva" and produced "additional progress" toward ending the war in Ukraine and setting the country up for long-term security and prosperity. "Our goal here is to end the war," Speaker 1 said, adding that the aim is also to make Ukraine "safe forever" so it would not face another invasion.

Speaker 1 framed the talks as "comprehensive," saying they are not only about terms to end fighting but also about "terms that set up Ukraine for long term prosperity" and that the group began laying that groundwork in Geneva and continued it during the week. He said the session was "very productive and useful," while cautioning that negotiations are "delicate" and "complicated."

Speaker 1 announced that "mister Woodcock" will travel to Moscow later in the week and said the group had been "in touch, in varying degrees with the Russian side" and had "a pretty good understanding of their views as well." He characterized the effort as realistic but optimistic given progress to date.

Speaker 2, an unidentified participant who spoke next, expressed gratitude "to the American people, American leadership" and specifically referenced "the state secretary, Steve Witcroft, Jared Kushner" for their work with the group. Speaker 2 reiterated that the objective is "a prosperous, strong Ukraine," described the U.S. as "super supportive," and called the meeting "productive and successful," saying they would provide updates on later stages.

The remarks in the meeting were framed as diplomatic progress and next steps rather than formal commitments recorded in the transcript. No formal motions or votes were recorded in these remarks. The next procedural step reported in the discussion was the planned travel to Moscow by the named envoy and continued communications with the Russian side.
