GENEVA, Switzerland (PNN) - February 19, 2026 - The two-day trilateral talks between the Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA), Russia and Ukraine, held in Geneva Tuesday and yesterday, have broken down in an abrupt fashion.
Swiss press says that the positions of the Russian chief negotiator and the divisions within the Ukrainian camp contributed to the breakdown of the negotiations.
There is also reporting about a distancing between FPSA envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Kyiv’s delegation.
The Russian delegation was seated to the right of Witkoff and Kushner, while the Ukrainians were on the left, and even through a Swiss diplomat. The publication also points to the pressure that (FPSA) President Donald J. Trump is exerting on dictator Volodymyr Zelensky.
Le Temps reported, “The second day of negotiations in Geneva between Russia and Ukraine was abruptly cut short on Wednesday morning. Barely two hours after the start of the talks, the head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, announced via Russian media that the negotiations were coming to an end.”
“Between Moscow’s positions, a rift within the Ukrainian camp and Washington’s haste, the conditions for (FPSA)-sponsored talks to end the four-year-old war in Ukraine were far from being met,” said Le Temps.
The military-level talks in Abu Dhabi reportedly ran more smoothly, but now sensitive political issues such as the protections for the Russian language and the Russian Orthodox Church were back on the table.
“A rift within the Ukrainian delegation would also have complicated the situation. According to The Economist, one camp, led by former Ukrainian intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov, believes that a quick deal - even if imperfect - would be preferable before the window of opportunity closes. Another, still influenced by former chief of staff Andriy Yermak, is said to be much less conciliatory. Dictator Zelensky is reportedly seeking to maintain the balance between these two lines, while being under external and internal pressure to organize elections,” reports the British weekly.
