 Kyiv — The governments of Russia and Ukraine confirmed Friday that they would participate in a third round of U.S.-mediated peace talks next week, on Feb. 17 and 18 in Geneva. There have already been two rounds of talks under this  trilateral format so far this year, held in Abu Dhabi, but next week's session will be the first on European soil, and it will come just days before [Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine](https://www.cbsnews.com/ukraine-crisis/) enters its fifth year.
Neither side has voiced any optimism that the negotiations will yield a comprehensive ceasefire agreement, but there has been some progress on other issues. Most notably, both sides agreed to a temporary pause in attacks on energy infrastructure in late January, and then after the last round of talks, they carried out the [first prisoner exchange in five months](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine-russia-war-prisoner-exchange-witkoff-tangible-results-peace-talks/).
The mere fact that the negotiations continued, with relative continuity in the teams sitting around the table, had also suggested room for progress.
But there has been plenty to fuel doubt in Kyiv since the discussions began.

 President Trump said the pause in strikes on each other's energy infrastructure would last a week. But it ended after just four days, with Russia hitting Ukraine with a fresh barrage of 450 drones and more than 60 missiles.

The Free Press: [Meet the Ukrainian Refugees Being Forced Out of the U.S.](https://www.thefp.com/p/meet-the-ukrainian-refugees-being)

Asked by journalists in Kyiv this week whether future talks could at least yield a more enduring truce, even if it was still limited to strikes on power infrastructure, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said: "We have not received any response from the Russians. If anything, one could say the opposite — we received responses in the form of drones and missile attacks. This indicates that, for now, they are not ready for the energy ceasefire."

 The composition of the negotiating teams, which some analysts have looked to as an indicator of potential progress on more technical issues, has also changed.

During both of the meetings in Abu Dhabi, Ukraine's team included Kyrylo Budanov, the former head of military intelligence who now serves as Zelenskyy's chief of staff, while the Russian delegation was led by Igor Kostyukov, the head of the GRU military intelligence service.
"When military guys meet military guys, they can make progress, they speak the same language," Yuriy Sak, an adviser to Ukraine's Ministry of Strategic Industries, told CBS News last week. "The concrete measures and steps within security guarantees — the military guys on both sides are well placed to discuss."
Next week in Geneva, however, presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky will replace Kostyukov as the head of the Russian delegation, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday.
Medinsky led the Russian team for a round of talks with Ukrainian officials in March 2022, in Belarus and Istanbul, that went nowhere as his team made sweeping claims to occupied Ukrainian territory and demanded that Kyiv effectively give up its sovereign military power. He is known for writing ultra-nationalistic school textbooks questioning Ukraine's right to exist, and for his close relationship with President Vladimir Putin.

Zelenskyy has [said](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/zelenskyy-ukraine-russia-war-united-states-deadline/) the Trump administration wants both sides to agree to a deal to end the war by June. But in Kyiv, officials question whether Washington is prepared to exert the kind of pressure on Moscow that would make such a timeline feasible.
"As for whether I believe the war can be brought to an end," Zelenskyy told journalists this week, "it does not depend only on Ukraine. It also depends on the United States, which must put pressure — forgive me for saying 'must,' but there is no other way to put it — must put pressure on Russia."

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was killed using a poison developed from a dart frog toxin, the UK and European allies have said.

Two years on from the death of Navalny at a Siberian penal colony, Britain and its allies have blamed the Kremlin following analysis of material samples found on his body.

There is no innocent explanation for the toxin, called epibatidine, being found in samples taken from Navalny's body, the UK Foreign Office said.

Speaking from the Munich Security Conference, Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said: "Only the Russian government had the means, motive and opportunity to deploy this lethal toxin against Alexei Navalny during his imprisonment in Russia."

While Cooper announced the findings, a joint statement was issued by the UK, Sweden, France, Germany and the Netherlands.

Cooper met with Navalny's widow Yulia Navalnaya at the conference this weekend.

"Russia saw Navalny as a threat," Cooper said at the event.

"By using this form of poison the Russian state demonstrated the despicable tools it has at its disposal and the overwhelming fear it has of political opposition," she added.

In the statement the allies said: "Only the Russian state had the means, motive and opportunity to deploy this lethal toxin to target Navalny during his imprisonment in a Russian penal colony in Siberia, and we hold it responsible for his death.

"Epibatidine can be found naturally in dart frogs in the wild in South America. Dart frogs in captivity do not produce this toxin and it is not found naturally in Russia.

"There is no innocent explanation for its presence in Navalny's body."

The Foreign Office said the UK has informed the Organisation on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons of Russia's alleged breach of the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Praising Navalny's "huge courage", UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said "his determination to expose the truth has left an enduring legacy".

"I am doing whatever it takes to defend our people, our values and our way of life from the threat of Russia and Putin's murderous intent," he added.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot also said his country "pays tribute" to Navalny, who he suggested was "killed for his fight in favour of a free and democratic Russia".

Navalny – an anti-corruption campaigner and Russia's most vociferous opposition leader - died suddenly in jail on 16 February 2024 at the age of 47.

In 2020 he was poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent. He underwent treatment in Germany, and was arrested at the airport upon his return to Russia.

Navalny's wife Yulia Navalnaya had consistently claimed that her husband was poisoned by Russia

Before Saturday's announcement, Navalny's wife Yulia Navalnaya had consistently argued that her husband was killed by poisoning while serving a prison sentence in an Arctic penal colony in 2024.

She did not provide details on the poison allegedly used, on the samples or on the analysis – but challenged the two laboratories to publish their results.

Reacting to the announcement, Navalnaya said: "I was certain from the first day that my husband had been poisoned, but now there is proof.

"I am grateful to the European states for the meticulous work they carried out over two years and for uncovering the truth," she added.

The Kremlin has not commented on the allegations.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, who studiously avoided naming Navalny while he was alive, briefly referred to him a month after his death by stating that a person passing was "always a sad event".

At the time of his death, Navalny had been in jail for three years on trumped-up charges and had recently been transferred to the Arctic Circle penal colony.

According to Russian accounts, the 47-year-old took a short walk at his Siberian penal colony, said he felt unwell, then collapsed and never regained consciousness.

Speaking to BBC Russian, toxicology expert Jill Johnson said epibatidine was "200 times more potent than morphine".

By acting on receptors in the central nervous system, it can cause "muscle twitching and paralysis, seizures, slow heart rate, respiratory failure and finally death," she said.

The extremely rare neurotoxin is only found in one wild frog species in tiny quantities, and only when the frog eats a specific diet, Johnson said, describing it as an "incredibly rare way to poison a person".

She said: "Finding the wild frog in the correct location that is eating the specific diet to create the correct alkaloids is almost impossible...almost."
