[US-Ukraine Geneva Talks Focus on Post-War Reconstruction; Trilateral Meeting Expected in Early March] 1. Ukrainian and US officials held talks in Geneva on Thursday, focusing on post-war reconstruction, despite ongoing deadlock in negotiations with Russia. Ukraine's chief negotiator, Umerov, stated that the participants spoke with President Zelensky after the meeting. Zelensky revealed that the trilateral talks might be held in Abu Dhabi in early March, aiming to pave the way for a meeting between the Ukrainian and Russian leaders. 2. Reconstructing Ukraine has become a key issue in the US-led peace negotiations. The latest World Bank assessment indicates that reconstruction costs are estimated at $588 billion. Kyiv hopes to attract approximately $800 billion in public and private funding over the next 10 years for reconstruction, covering multiple areas including the economy and security. 3. Russian representative Dmitry Yevgeny also met with US officials in Geneva on the same day, but did not disclose the results. The positions of Russia and Ukraine remain far apart, and the battlefield situation remains deadlocked. Ukraine emphasized that the upcoming trilateral meeting will be a key platform "capable of resolving many issues."
