Ukraine War Talks to Resume in Geneva as US Signals Progress

Ukraine and Russia resumed talks amid heavy overnight missile and drone strikes, with Kyiv reporting 29 missiles and 396 drones launched by Russia, killing four civilians.

  • In Geneva on Wednesday, Kyiv's delegation, led by Ukrainian national security secretary, resumed a second round of peace talks with both sides agreeing to update leaders and continue negotiations.
  • Ukraine accused Russia of launching more than 150 drones overnight into Tuesday, undermining Geneva talks, as Kyiv said a missile-and-drone strike involved over 150, killing four, and cut power to tens of thousands.
  • Moscow pressed to secure control of Donetsk while Kyiv rejected territorial concessions and insisted on security guarantees before any deal, Kremlin officials reinstated Vladimir Medinsky as Russia's lead negotiator.
  • After a six-hour, `very tense` session, officials signalled limited progress, with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff noting diplomatic strides while hopes for a breakthrough remain low.
  • Late Tuesday, Ukraine's general staff reported Russia fired 28 missiles and 109 guided aerial bombs since the start of the day, while Zelensky questioned Russia's seriousness and Trump urged Kyiv to `better come to the table, fast`.
