An anonymous White House source, quoted by the Reuters news agency, emphasized that the talks among the three delegations—the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia—are going "exceptionally well." The source assured that positive developments should be expected soon. It's important to note that these technical discussions have been ongoing for several days.
