Russia-Ukraine Talks in Geneva Amid Fresh Deadly Attacks
Russian and Ukrainian delegations are meeting in Geneva today. These US-brokered talks come at a critical time. They happen one week before the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion. However, expectations for a breakthrough remain very low. Moscow has not wavered from its maximalist demands. It continues to seek Ukrainian territory.
Attacks Continue During Diplomacy
While diplomats talk, the attacks continue. Russia strikes Ukraine on a nightly basis. These strikes further damage the already battered power grid. Subzero temperatures make this particularly dangerous for civilians.Hours before the Geneva meetings, Russia launched another massive attack. It hit 12 regions across Ukraine. The assault involved 400 drones and almost 30 missiles. Tragically, at least three people lost their lives.
A Grim Pattern
As a result, this Russia Ukraine Geneva talks face an impossible backdrop. Diplomacy proceeds while bombs fall. The contrast between negotiation table and battlefield could not be starker. The international community watches closely. Yet no clear path to peace currently exists. The suffering continues as winter tightens its grip.
