Several key issues remain unresolved in ongoing negotiations between Ukraine and the United States over a potential framework to end Russia’s war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said last week.

President Emmanuel Macron has previously denied that Laurent Vinatier worked for the French state and has described his arrest as part of a misinformation campaign by Moscow.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attack, which comes ahead of his latest talks with US leader Donald Trump, shows that Russia has no intention of ending the war.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Friday that Russia was using ordinary apartment blocks on the territory of its ally Belarus to attack Ukrainian targets and circumvent Kyiv's defences.

Ukrainian forces say they have hit an oil terminal, a pipeline, two parked jet fighters, and two ships in a series of strikes on Russian soil

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that he believes the U.S. "wants to reach a final agreement," to end the war in Ukraine.

Russia extended a temporary ban on gasoline exports through the end of February to maintain stability in its domestic fuel market.

Russia is likely deploying nuclear-capable hypersonic ballistic missiles at a former airbase in eastern Belarus, a move that could strengthen Moscow’s ability to strike targets across Europe, according to a Reuters report.
