Russia Strikes Cities Across Ukraine Ahead of Talks Between U.S. and Ukrainian Envoys

HeadlineFeb 27, 2026

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says another round of negotiations with Russia will likely take place in Abu Dhabi in early March. His remarks came after U.S. and Ukrainian officials wrapped up talks in Geneva on Thursday, where they discussed postwar reconstruction and an economic package for Ukraine. Ahead of the talks, Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack against multiple cities in Ukraine, wounding 23 people, including a child. This is a resident whose apartment building in Zaporizhzhia was attacked by Russia.

Troshko Mykola: “It’s been four years, and they still haven’t ended the war. We want this. We want them to reach a deal, but there are no agreements. And now we don’t know where to go or what to do. Our apartment is completely ruined.”
