Russia and Ukraine to Meet for Talks in Geneva Next Week

Russian and Ukrainian representatives will resume US-brokered talks in Geneva on February 17-18, as the war nears its four-year mark without territorial compromises. While Russia demands Ukraine withdraw from parts of the Donetsk region, Ukraine seeks security guarantees to prevent future offenses. Ongoing fighting and airstrikes highlight the conflict’s toll, with extensive casualties reported. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy aims to secure support from allies at the Munich Security Conference ahead of these crucial negotiations.
