As the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine approaches a significant milestone, the two nations are set to engage in a new round of peace talks in Geneva, facilitated by U.S. mediation. The talks come after a series of missile and drone strikes from Russia and heightened military pressure from both sides. Notably, former U.S. President Trump has urged Ukraine to expedite negotiations, emphasizing the need for a swift resolution. Despite the urgency, expectations for the talks remain low, with key issues such as territorial disputes and demands from both nations still unresolved. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has highlighted that the discussions will focus heavily on land issues. Russian representatives have been instructed to push their demands firmly, marking a crucial moment in the nearly four-year conflict.
