Geneva Talks Focus on Ukraine's Reconstruction Amid Ongoing War

In Geneva, Ukrainian and U.S. officials met Thursday to discuss reconstruction plans for war-torn Ukraine, even as peace talks with Russia remain stalled. Kyiv's focus is to gather approximately $800 billion from public and private sectors to rebuild key infrastructure over the next decade.

Despite ongoing peace negotiations, Russia's overnight drone and missile attacks emphasized the importance of the Geneva meeting. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy reported multiple injuries and damages across eight regions, affecting critical energy infrastructures.

The talks, which include U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, prioritize frameworks for Ukraine's economic revival. Concerns over recent Russian assaults underscore the gravity of the situation and the need for accelerated diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict.
