"Every night and every day bring new challenges for our city, new destructions and new work," Mayor Ihor Terekhov said in a post to Telegram. Kharkiv was among the targets of Russia's latest overnight attack, which Ukraine's air force said saw 162 drones launched into the country. Air defenses shot down or suppressed 125 drones, the air force said, with 37 craft impacting across 15 locations. "The most damage was suffered by civilian infrastructure and private households in the Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions," the air force said in a post to Telegram. "Unfortunately, there are civilian casualties."

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that the talks were "probably the most productive and meaningful meeting we've had so far in this entire process since we became involved." Rubio told reporters that the presidents of both countries would have to approve any framework, but said he was "comfortable" they would. "We're making some changes and adjustments in hopes of further narrowing the differences and getting closer to an outcome that both Ukraine and the United States can be comfortable with," Rubio said. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio , next to US special envoy Steve Witkoff , faces the Ukrainian delegation during discussions on a U.S. plan to end the war in Ukraine at the U.S. Mission in Geneva, on Nov. 23, 2025. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in Geneva on November 23, 2025 morning for discussions on a US plan to end the Ukraine war, after Washington signaled room for negotiation on the controversial proposal. Ukrainian, European and Canadian officials were also gathering in the Swiss city. Rubio later Sunday said that all parties had made "great strides" on a potential peace settlement with Russia. He also said that the deadline for the parties to reach an agreement is "as soon as possible" and that the process could extend past a Thanksgiving deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump. "It evolved. This is a work -- this is a living, breathing document every day with input, it changes," he said of the proposal. Trump told reporters on Saturday that there is room for further negotiation. Asked by reporters whether the 28-point plan was his last offer, Trump replied, "No." He added, "One way or another we'll get it ended."But on Sunday, the president criticized Ukraine and its European backers, saying Ukrainian "'leadership' has expressed zero gratitude for our efforts" and noting that "Europe continues to buy oil from Russia." Asked later on Sunday whether the president still considered the Ukrainians "ungrateful," Rubio said he believed Trump was now "quite pleased" with progress at the negotiating table.

"The delegation has just reported on the results of their discussions, and these were substantive conversations. A lot is changing -- we are working very carefully on the steps needed to end the war," Zelenskyy added. "It is important that there is dialogue with the American representatives and there are signals President Trump's team is hearing us," Zelenskyy wrote. "Ukraine has never wanted this war, and we will never be an obstacle to peace," the president said. "Diplomacy has been reinvigorated, and that's good. Very good. We expect that the outcome will be the right steps. The first priority is a reliable peace, guaranteed security, respect for our people, respect for everyone who gave their life defending Ukraine against Russian aggression." Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday that Russia had "not received anything official yet" regarding the outcomes of the Geneva talks. "We are, of course, closely monitoring media reports, which have been abundant over the past few days, including from Geneva," Peskov said.

"We have read the statement following the discussions in Geneva. Some adjustments have been made to the text we saw earlier. We will wait. Apparently, the dialogue is continuing there, and some contacts will continue. So far, I repeat, we have not received anything officially." On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting of his Security Council that the Kremlin had received the new 28-point U.S. proposal. "I believe that it could also form the basis for a final peace settlement, but this text has not been discussed with us in detail," Putin said. "I believe the reason is the same: the U.S. administration has not yet managed to secure the agreement of the Ukrainian side, as Ukraine is opposed to it," Putin added. "Apparently, Ukraine and its European allies are still under the illusion that they can inflict a strategic defeat on Russia on the battlefield."
