Russia-Ukraine War

Ukraine presented a revised 20-point version of the plan to Washington earlier this week.

Baiba Braze said Trump’s strategy is a call for European renewal, not abandonment, urging allies to boost defense, competitiveness, and ties with Washington.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted security as key to post-war economic outlook in talks with U.S. officials.

UK defense officials confirmed the accidental death, the first of a British soldier in the Russia–Ukraine war.

Conversations involving Washington, Moscow, and Kyiv have continued since Trump’s proposed plan to end the conflict came to light in November.

Leaders of the UK, France, Germany, and Ukraine called on European allies to maintain pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Ukrainian president is traveling to London and Brussels for meetings following a weekend of discussions between Kyiv and Washington.

‘Ukraine is determined to keep working in good faith with the American side to genuinely achieve peace,’ the Ukrainian president said.

Russian forces advanced north and southeast of Myrnohrad and infiltrated positions in northwestern Pokrovsk.

The meeting marked the sixth round of U.S.–Ukraine discussions in two weeks.

The Russian president is making his first visit to India, which is one of Russia’s biggest export markets, in four years.

The Russian president’s comments follow remarks by Trump describing U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff’s meeting with Putin as ’reasonably good.’

Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States said the children must be returned or Kyiv will not agree to a peace deal with Moscow.

Ukraine has said it is ‘non-negotiable’ that all kidnapped children must be returned before Kyiv accepts any peace deal with Moscow.

The news comes as New Zealand announced its own funding package, saying the nations were ‘working together’ in a challenging environment.

Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the EU has sought to reduce its dependence on energy from Russia.

Moscow’s comments follow a meeting between Trump administration officials and Russian representatives on Dec. 2.

Pokrovsk, a heavily fortified industrial town, has been the site of intense fighting for the past 18 months.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s top foreign adviser called the talks “constructive” but cited lingering disagreements on territorial issues.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused NATO of ‘whipping up’ anti-Russian hysteria of an imminent attack by Moscow.
