Zelenskiy Warns of New Russian Strikes Ahead of Geneva Peace Talks

Russian forces continue military strikes despite ongoing peace talks where Kyiv demands security guarantees and Russia insists on territorial withdrawals, escalating tensions ahead of negotiations.

  • On Monday, Volodymyr Zelensky posted that the Russian army 'has no orders other than to continue striking Ukraine' as Ukrainian, Russian and American delegations gather in Geneva on Tuesday for talks.
  • Faced with calls to withdraw, Kyiv has rejected large territorial concessions and says it will demand robust Western security guarantees before agreeing to proposals, according to Kyiv.
  • Behind closed doors, the Geneva talks will be led by Vladimir Medinsky, with Kyiv headed by Rustem Umerov, and a spokesperson said `This time, we plan to discuss a broader set of issues.`
  • Zelensky warned that `Intelligence reports show that Russia is preparing further massive strikes against energy infrastructure so it is necessary to ensure that all air defence systems are properly configured,` and said attacks require special defence and partner support.
  • Last week Ukraine recaptured 201 square kilometres, while Russia occupies around one-fifth of Ukraine, including the Crimea peninsula seized in 2014.
