As Ukraine and Russia prepare for another round of U.S.-brokered peace talks in Geneva, expectations remain low amid escalating military tensions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that Moscow is gearing up for another massive strike, a sentiment echoed by recent reports. Both sides have described previous U.S.-mediated negotiations as productive, but they did not address critical sticking points such as territorial disputes and security guarantees, which continue to complicate the peace process. The Ukrainian delegation is heading to Geneva just days before the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion, with the Kremlin indicating that territorial issues will be a focal point of the discussions, further complicating the peace process.
