In a significant escalation ahead of crucial talks in Geneva, Ukraine reported that Russia launched a major aerial attack involving 420 drones and 39 missiles, resulting in 23 injuries, including a child. This bombardment occurred just hours before American officials were set to meet with Kyiv’s chief negotiator. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized the importance of the upcoming negotiations, stating, 'We expect this meeting to create an opportunity for significant progress towards a resolution.' However, the intensity of the attacks underscores the challenges facing these discussions. Following the recent talks, U.S. and Ukrainian officials concluded discussions in Geneva, but previous rounds of negotiations have failed to yield a compromise, particularly on territorial disputes, which remain a key sticking point.
