Trump has horrified European allies with his attacks on Volodymyr Zelenskyy and what critics say is a soft take on Vladimir Putin.

Trump called the Ukrainian president a 'dictator,' as European leaders try to assert more control over negotiations.

Vladimir Putin has spoken of a God-given mission as Russian forces mounted their largest ever drone strike on Ukraine on the eve of the 3rd anniversary of his full-scale invasion. In Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy spoke of the need for “unity” among Ukraine’s allies.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says a contentious U.S. proposal that would have seen $500 billion worth of profits from Ukrainian rare minerals given to the United States as compensation for its wartime assistance to Kyiv has been taken off the table.

Russia wants a long-term peace deal over Ukraine that tackles what it regards as the root causes of the conflict and not a quick U.S.-backed ceasefire followed by a swift restart of fighting, a senior Russian diplomat told the RIA news agency.
