While Trump’s team met with Ukrainian officials in Florida, Russia launched one of its biggest aerial attacks on Ukraine in months

President Vladimir Putin has warned again that Ukrainian troops must withdraw from Ukraine's eastern Donbas region or Russia will seize it, rejecting any compromise over how to end the war in Ukraine.

Europe faces “crunch time” on the war in Ukraine, a former European president said, as it battles internal division, Russian threats and U.S. hostility.

At least two civilians -- one in Donetsk and one in Novhorod-Siverskyi in the Chernihiv region -- were killed in the Russian attacks, Ukrainian officials said. The major target of the attacks, however, was the industrial city of Kremenchuk, where some energy infrastructure was targeted.

Russian President Vladimir Putin says some proposals in a U.S. plan to end the war in Ukraine are unacceptable to the Kremlin.

Turkey is telling Russia, Ukraine, and all other parties to keep energy infrastructure out of their conflict and wants energy flows to continue uninterrupted, Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said after a series of attacks off Turkey's Black Sea coast.

Russian ‍forces took control of the villages of ‌Kucherivka in Ukraine’s ⁠northern Kharkiv region and ‌Rivne ​in ‍the eastern Donetsk region, the defence ⁠ministry said on ⁠Sunday.

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff is meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss a peace plan that Washington hopes can end the nearly four-year war in Ukraine.
