Ukraine’s top negotiator Rustem Umerov said “concrete steps and practical solutions” had been discussed during the first day of the talks. The main sticking point in the negotiations is the long-term fate of territory in eastern Ukraine. In Ukraine, foreign ministry spokesman Georgiy Tykhy said of the second round of talks that Kyiv was “interested in finding out what the Russians and Americans really want”.
