GENEVA/KYIV, Feb 26 - Ukrainian and U.S. officials gathered in Geneva for talks on post-war reconstruction on Thursday despite a deadlock in peace negotiations with Russia, which pounded infrastructure across Ukraine with drone and missile strikes overnight.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russia had launched 420 drones and 39 missiles in another night of attacks on energy and other critical infrastructure. Dozens of people were injured and damage was reported across eight regions, he said.
