Russia skipped UN Security Council meeting in Geneva, then launched a drone and missile attack on Ukraine.

Russia skipped the UN Security Council meeting in Geneva hosted by Switzerland, which aimed to reaffirm commitment to international humanitarian law and mark the 75th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions. Despite the meeting, Russia launched a drone and missile attack on Ukraine, killing at least five people and targeting energy facilities. Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis called for greater respect for the Geneva Conventions, but Russia's envoy in New York dismissed the meeting as a "waste of time."
