President Donald Trump's approach to ending the Russia-Ukraine war mirrors his tactics in the Israel-Hamas conflict.

President Donald Trump says Ukraine and Russia are making progress in peace talks but called the conflict difficult to solve on Tuesday night.

The Kremlin’s top foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov confirmed there is a “preliminary agreement” for U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff to visit Moscow.

European leaders were blindsided by President Trump’s 28-point-plan to end the Ukraine war, setting off a dash for influence.

As for Mr Trump, he again betrayed his underlying bias: sympathy for Russia and indifference to Ukraine. Ahead of the Geneva talks he dismissively said Mr Zelensky “can continue to fight his little heart out” if no agreement were reached, and complained on social media that “UKRAINE ‘LEADERSHIP’ HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS.”

Vladimir Putin has issued a stark ultimatum — demanding Ukraine pull its troops from the east or face military force. Speaking from Kyrgyzstan, Putin dismissed negotiations with Kyiv entirely, insisting only the US can bring about a resolution.
