Russia launched a massive drone and missile assault on Kyiv, causing civilian casualties and widespread infrastructure damage just before a scheduled peace meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump.

High-level Geneva talks between Ukraine, the U.S., and European partners were described as “productive and meaningful,” though key differences and Russian engagement remain unresolved.

Russia says discussions around a U.S.-backed peace plan for Ukraine are proceeding constructively, though officials on all sides caution that significant obstacles remain.

The U.S. sanctioned Russia’s biggest oil firms Rosneft and Lukoil and demanded an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine amid escalating diplomatic tensions.
