European troops, US support for Ukraine plan faces many challenges

As the US and Russia push ahead so far without Ukraine at the table on talks to end the war, political and military leaders in Europe are fleshing out details of a plan for European forces to help ensure Moscow does not attack again. After months of quiet discussions, the proposal has become increasingly public. It will likely be on the agenda when British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, two major backers of the idea, visit Washington on separate days next week for talks with President Donald Trump. Starmer, who will visit Thursday, has stressed that the force won't work without US military might to back it up. Persuading Trump to provide it could be a tall order. What is the plan? The security guarantee that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy really wants is NATO membership. European members of the military alliance still back that goal, but the US looks to have taken it off the table, along with Ukrainian hopes of regaining the fifth of its territor

Talks with US envoy 'restore hope' for strong deal on security: Zelenskyy

Trump's frustration with Zelenskyy's approach 'multifold', says US NSA

A top White House official has said that President Donald Trump's increasingly tough criticism of Volodymyr Zelenskyy reflects the administration's growing frustration with what they see as the Ukrainian leader creating roadblocks to finding an endgame to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The comments from White House national security adviser Mike Waltz on Thursday came a day after Trump described Zelenskyy as a "dictator" and warned that he "better move fast" to negotiate an end to the war or risk not having a nation to lead. Zelenskyy earlier Wednesday had said Trump was living in a Russian-made "disinformation space". "His frustration with President Zelenskyy that you heard is multifold," Waltz said Thursday of Trump. "There needs to be a deep appreciation for what the American people and the American taxpayer, what President Trump did in his first term and what we've done since. There's some of the rhetoric coming out of Kyiv, frankly, and insults to President Trump (that) were ...

US has given up lead role on resolving war in Ukraine: Zelenskyy's advisor

A Ukrainian presidential advisor claimed on Wednesday that the US has weakened its position and relinquished the diplomatic lead to Russia ahead of any possible peace talks on Ukraine, following a meeting in Saudi Arabia between top American and Russian diplomats. The remarks by Mykhailo Podolyak, an advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, came a day after President Donald Trump falsely suggested that Kyiv was to blame for the war, which is entering its fourth year next week. The US-Russia talks in Riyadh, the Saudi capital, were held without Ukraine and its European allies. "Why should dominance be handed over to a country that is an aggressor, a violator of international law, and the author of aggression against Ukraine?" Podolyak said. "We still do not understand this strategy." Podolyak said Ukraine was neither briefed on the talks ahead of them or on their outcome. "To me, the concept of 'peace through strength', which the American administration promotes, sounds

US envoy Keith Kellogg arrives in Ukraine for talks with Zelenskyy

Keith Kellogg, the US special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, arrived in Kyiv on Wednesday for talks with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and military commanders, as the US shifted its policy away from years of efforts to isolate Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kellogg's trip came a day after US President Donald Trump suggested that Kyiv was to blame for the war, which enters its fourth year next week, and talks between top American and Russian diplomats in Saudi Arabia sidelined Ukraine and its European supporters. Trump's comments are likely to vex Ukrainian officials, who have urged the world to help them fight Russia's full-scale invasion that began Feb. 24, 2022. The battlefield has also brought grim news for Ukraine in recent months. A relentless onslaught in eastern areas by Russia's bigger army is grinding down Ukrainian forces, which are slowly but steadily being pushed backward at some points on the 1,000-kilometer (600-mile) front line. Trump told reporters at his Florida

Zelenskyy visits UAE as momentum grows for peace talks to end war

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with the leader of the United Arab Emirates on Monday as momentum grows for potential peace talks ending Russia's war on the country. US President Donald Trump last week suggested he would be meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia. The UAE, home to Abu Dhabi and Dubai, has long been floated as a possible site for peace talks as well, given the large population of Russian and Ukrainian expatriates who have flooded the country since the war began, and due to the Emirates' work on prisoner exchanges in the past. Zelenskyy arrived in Abu Dhabi late Sunday after attending the Munich Security Conference in Germany. Footage released by his office showed him and his wife, Olena Zelenska, being greeted by an Emirati official and honor guard at the airport. The trip is Zelenskyy's first to the UAE since the war began. Our top priority is bringing even more of our people home from captivity, Zelenskyy's office said in messages onlin
