What was the outcome of the high-level talks between the US and Russia regarding Ukraine?

The high-level talks between the US and Russia concluded with both sides expressing enthusiasm about the discussions, but with limited substantive outcomes. They agreed to create a high-level team for further discussions, essentially establishing a framework for future negotiations rather than reaching concrete resolutions on the Ukraine conflict. As Foreign Correspondent Brit Clinic noted, these were essentially 'talks about having more talks' with 'nothing of substance announced.' The focus was primarily on establishing diplomatic mechanisms and processes for continued dialogue rather than making decisive agreements about ending the war in Ukraine.
