美国斡旋的俄罗斯-乌克兰在日内瓦的会谈于 February 18, 2026 结束；第2nd天在仅约 90 minutes 后便散会。乌克兰总统 Volodymyr Zelenskiy 指责莫斯科拖延谈判，他表示谈判本可已进入最后阶段。俄方代表团团长 Vladimir Medinsky 形容会谈艰难且务实，并称很快会再举行一次会议，但未给出日期。乌方代表团团长、国家安全与国防委员会秘书 Rustem Umerov 表示有进展，但目前不能披露细节；下一步是建立足够共识，将决定提交两位总统面前。
Zelenskiy 表示他期待其团队提交一份详细报告，并在稍后告诉记者，各方同意任何停火监督都将涉及美国，称这是一个建设性信号，同时强调结束俄罗斯全面入侵仍需要政治意志。与 Jared Kushner 一同出席的美国特使 Steve Witkoff 于 February 18, 2026 表示，前一日（February 17, 2026）的会谈取得了有意义的进展，且双方同意继续朝达成协议努力。尽管如此，讨论在关键议题上似乎进展不大，即便其范围被描述为比 2026 年早些时候在阿布达比的会议更广。
一个核心未解问题仍是 Vladimir Putin 的要求：乌克兰交出位于东部顿涅茨克（Donetsk）的领土；自 2014 年以来的战斗中，俄罗斯尚未征服该地区。Zelenskiy 表示乌克兰人将拒绝单方面撤出并割让土地。Zelenskiy 也在 February 17, 2026 指示谈判代表讨论扎波罗热核电站（Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant）的未来；该电站在 February 2022 入侵初期被俄军夺取。他并指出，与此前在伊斯坦布尔于 May to July 2025 举行、以及 2022 年入侵刚开始后不久的会谈相比，俄罗斯略微更换了谈判团队。报导称美国官员对短期前景看法分歧，而 Zelenskiy 主张欧洲的参与不可或缺；在 February 17 的讨论后，Umerov 会见了来自美国、法国、英国、德国、义大利与瑞士的代表，凸显更广泛利害关系方的参与，但时间表与条款仍未具体说明。
US-brokered Russia-Ukraine meetings in Geneva ended on February 18, 2026 after a 2nd day that broke up after barely 90 minutes, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accusing Moscow of dragging out negotiations that he said could already be in a final stage. Russia’s delegation head Vladimir Medinsky described the talks as difficult and businesslike and said another meeting would take place soon, without giving a date. Ukraine’s delegation head, National Security and Defense Council Secretary Rustem Umerov, said there was progress but no details could be disclosed yet and that the next step was building enough consensus to put decisions before the presidents.
Zelenskiy said he expected a detailed report from his team and later told reporters that all sides agreed any ceasefire monitoring would involve the US, calling that a constructive signal, while stressing political will was still needed to end Russia’s full-scale invasion. US envoy Steve Witkoff, who attended along with Jared Kushner, said on February 18, 2026 that there had been meaningful progress during the previous day’s talks (February 17, 2026) and that both sides agreed to continue working toward a deal. Despite that, the discussions appeared to yield little headway on key issues, even as their scope was described as broader than earlier 2026 meetings in Abu Dhabi.
A central unresolved issue remains Vladimir Putin’s demand that Ukraine hand over territory in eastern Donetsk that Russia has not conquered despite fighting dating back to 2014, and Zelenskiy has said Ukrainians would reject unilateral withdrawal and ceding land. Zelenskiy also tasked negotiators on February 17, 2026 to discuss the future of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant seized by Russian forces early in the February 2022 invasion, while noting Russia had slightly changed its negotiation team compared with prior Istanbul talks held May to July 2025 and shortly after the 2022 invasion began. US officials were described as split on near-term prospects, and Zelenskiy argued Europe’s participation was indispensable; after February 17 discussions, Umerov met representatives from the US, France, the UK, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland, underscoring broader stakeholder involvement even as timelines and terms remain unspecified.
