Russia-Ukraine War

Kyiv has yet to officially comment on a car bombing that reportedly injured a military officer and his wife.

Ukraine’s top diplomat signals Kyiv’s readiness—under certain conditions—to come to the negotiating table.

Ukraine’s foreign minister said Kyiv is ready to engage the Russian side if Moscow ‘is ready to negotiate in good faith.’

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s recent visit to Moscow continues to send shockwaves across Western officialdom.

Orban recently met the leaders of Russia and China—and presidential frontrunner Donald Trump—as part of a self-styled ‘peace mission.’

‘I am grateful to our team responsible for the exchanges and to the United Arab Emirates for mediating,’ Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

The head of NATO has been dismissive of such remarks, calling them ’reckless and dangerous’

Moscow, meanwhile, demands guarantees that Ukraine will never join the Western NATO alliance.

Moscow responds to alliance’s latest assertion that Ukraine’s path to membership is irreversible.

The Pentagon said it’s ‘incredibly important’ to keep lines of communication open, while the Kremlin said talks focused on lowering the risk of escalation.

Despite its longstanding membership in NATO, Turkey under Erdogan has kept good relations with Russia.

China is ‘not going to benefit economically’ as a consequence for supporting Russia’s aggression, President Biden said.

The $250 million package would focus on bolstering Ukraine’s integrated air and missile defence.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said nations ‘need to lift all the limitations’ on strikes into Russia in order to achieve victory.

Announcement coincides with NATO summit in Washington, during which alliance members doubled down on support for Ukraine’s war effort.

The announcement was made as Chinese and Belarusian forces conduct joint drills near the Polish border.
