Expectations are low for the latest US-brokered talks between Russia and Ukraine

Talks focus on disputed Ukrainian territories with little expected progress as both sides hold firm and fighting continues along a 1,250-kilometre front, US officials say.

  • A Ukrainian delegation is heading to Geneva, Switzerland for US‑brokered talks during the Tuesday–Wednesday meeting ahead of next week's fourth anniversary of Russia's full‑scale invasion.
  • Territorial issues and logistics prompted the Geneva meeting, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying talks address territorial demands of Russia, while Ukraine's closed airspace forces long overland journeys, and Kirill Dmitriev seeks economic talks with Washington.
  • Rustem Umerov will lead Ukraine's negotiating team, which traveled overland, while Vladimir Medinsky returns to lead Moscow's delegation with Igor Kostyukov and Mikhail Galuzin; Kirill Dmitriev will hold separate US-Russia economic talks.
  • Both sides appear to be sticking to positions despite the US June deadline, and it remained unclear which American officials would be in Geneva.
  • Bryansk's governor reported an intense drone barrage as air defences shot down 229 Ukrainian drones, while Ukraine's Air Force said Russia launched 62 long-range strike drones and six missiles overnight along the roughly 1,250-kilometre front line.
