Ukraine Braces for More Attacks as Peace Talks Begin

Ukraine is on high alert. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy shared that intelligence suggests Russia is planning more attacks on energy sites. He believes these strikes are a tactic to complicate peace efforts. Zelenskiy made this clear in his nightly video address. Peace talks are happening in Geneva. Ukrainian, Russian, and American teams are meeting to discuss the war. This time, the focus is on the disputed territories. Ukraine wants its land back. Russia wants to keep what it has taken. Zelenskiy says Russia is using different weapons. Drones and missiles are part of their strategy. He thinks Russia wants to hit Ukraine hard before winter ends. Zelenskiy urges partners, especially the U. S. , to understand this.The head of Ukraine's delegation, Rustem Umerov, is already in Geneva. He hopes for productive talks on security and humanitarian issues. Meanwhile, Russia wants Ukraine to give up the Donbas area. Vladimir Medinsky will lead the Russian team. Earlier talks in the UAE led to a prisoner swap. But no major progress was made. The Kremlin says this round will cover more issues. The main one is still the territory. Russia's actions show they are not ready to compromise. They keep attacking while talking peace. This makes it hard to trust their intentions. Ukraine must stay strong and prepared.
