Trump calls on Ukraine, Russia to 'stop where they are' and end war

US President Donald Trump on Friday called on Kyiv and Moscow to "stop where they are" and end their brutal war following a lengthy White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump's frustration with the conflict has surfaced repeatedly in the nine months since he returned to office, but with his latest comments, he appeared to be edging back in the direction of pressing Ukraine to give up on retaking land it has lost to Russia. "Enough blood has been shed, with property lines being defined by War and Guts," Trump said in a Truth Social post not long after hosting Zelenskyy and his team for more than two hours of talks. "They should stop where they are. Let both claim Victory, let History decide!" Later, soon after arriving in Florida, where he is spending the weekend, Trump urged both sides to "stop the war immediately" and implied that Moscow keep territory it has taken from Kyiv. "You go by the battle line wherever it is -- otherwise it is too complicated,

New Nato members Finland and Sweden to buy more US arms for Ukraine

NATO's two newest members, Finland and Sweden, said Wednesday that they would buy more weapons from the United States to give to Ukraine, a day after data showed that foreign military aid to the war-torn country had declined sharply in recent months. Over the summer, NATO started to coordinate regular deliveries of large weapons packages to Ukraine to help fend off Russia's war. The aim was to send at least one load a month of targeted and predictable military support, each worth around USD 500 million. Spare weapons stocks in European arsenals have all but dried up, and NATO diplomats have said that the United States has around USD 10-USD 12 billion worth of arms, air defence systems and ammunition that Ukraine could use. Under the financial arrangement known as the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List, or PURL European allies and Canada are buying American weapons to help Kyiv keep Russian forces at bay. About USD 2 billion worth has already been allocated. Finland's defence .

Russian air strike hits Ukrainian hospital days before Zelensky-Trump meet

Russian forces launched powerful glide bombs and drones against Ukraine's second-largest city in overnight attacks, hitting a hospital and wounding seven people, an official said Tuesday, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy prepared to travel to Washington and ask US President Donald Trump for more American military help. The Russian attack on Kharkiv in Ukraine's northeast hit the city's main hospital, forcing the evacuation of 50 patients, regional head Oleh Syniehubov said. The attack's main targets were energy facilities, Zelenskyy said, without providing details of what was hit. Every day, every night, Russia strikes power plants, power lines, and our (natural) gas facilities, Zelenskyy said on Telegram. Russian long-range strikes on its neighbour's power grid are part of a campaign since Moscow launched a full-scale invasion in February 2022 to disable Ukraine's power supply, denying civilians heat and running water during the bitter winter. The Ukrainian leader urged

Zelenskyy to visit US this week seeking long-range weapons, Trump meeting

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday he will travel to the United States this week for talks on the potential US provision of long-range weapons, a day after US President Donald Trump warned Russia he may send Kyiv long-range Tomahawk missiles.

The main topics will be air defence and our long-range capabilities, to maintain pressure on Russia, Zelenskyy said. He spoke at a meeting with EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas. He said he also would seek further US assistance to protect Ukraine's electricity and gas networks, which have faced relentless Russian bombardment. The US visit follows what Zelenskyy described as a very productive phone call with Trump on Sunday. Trump later warned Russia that he may send Ukraine long-range Tomahawk missiles if Moscow ...

Trump warns Russia he may send Ukraine Tomahawks if war isn't settled soon

President Donald Trump on Sunday warned Russia that he may send Ukraine long-range Tomahawk missiles if Moscow doesn't settle its war there soon. "I might say, 'Look: if this war is not going to get settled, I'm going to send them Tomahawks," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he flew to Israel. "The Tomahawk is an incredible weapon, very offensive weapon. And honestly, Russia does not need that." He added, "I might tell them that if the war is not settled -- that we may very well--we may not, but we may do it. I think it's appropriate to bring up." Trump's comments came after he spoke by phone earlier Sunday with Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Power restored to 800K in Kyiv after Russia hits Ukraine's energy grid

Power was restored to over 800,000 residents in Kyiv on Saturday a day after major attacks by Russia on the Ukrainian power grid caused blackouts across much of the country. Ukraine's largest private energy company, DTEK, said Saturday that the main work to restore the power supply had been completed, but that some localised outages were still affecting the Ukrainian capital following Friday's massive Russian attacks.
