Ahead of US-brokered peace talks in Geneva next week, drone strikes in Ukraine and Russia resulted in casualties. A Russian drone strike killed an elderly woman in Odesa, Ukraine, while a Ukrainian drone strike killed a civilian in the Bryansk region of Russia. These attacks follow a Ukrainian missile strike on Belgorod, Russia, which killed two and wounded five. The Geneva talks, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, aim to address the ongoing conflict, but previous US-led efforts have failed to resolve key issues. These discussions occur amidst continued fighting and drone attacks as the fourth anniversary of the Russian invasion approaches. President Zelenskyy stated the US has given both countries a June deadline to reach a deal.
