During high-stakes talks in Geneva, Russia assured the United States that it has no plans to invade Ukraine. The seven-hour meeting resulted in both sides agreeing to continue efforts to reduce tensions, although no major breakthrough was achieved. Approximately 100,000 Russian troops near the Ukrainian border have raised concerns of a potential incursion and prompted warnings from the West. The US reiterated its stance on imposing sanctions in the event of a Russian attack, while Russia cautioned the US not to underestimate the risks involved in their confrontation.
