Despite Ukrainian drone attacks hitting the Russian capital, Moscow, President Vladimir Putin will reportedly 'reject' any peace deal in the Ukrainian war because he is convinced that he will win

Green President Trump and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia spoke for about two hours on Monday, but failed to reach any apparent breakthroughs in attempts to end the war in Ukraine.

At least 14 people were injured after Russia attacked Ukraine's capital Kyiv early today with drones and missiles, triggering fires and strewing debris in districts throughout the city, the city's mayor said.

Ukraine would like U.S. President Donald Trump to be present at a potential meeting between President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ukrinform reported on May 23, citing Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.

Russia is still refusing to sign up to an unconditional comprehensive ceasefire. It has no intention of returning any of the Ukrainian land it has seized, occupied and claims to have annexed. On the contrary: it's pushing for more.

The White House has said president Donald Trump “believes” Vladimir Putin is winning the war with Ukraine.The statement follows a Wall Street Journal that Mr Trump told European leaders after a phone call with Mr Putin that the Russian president is not ready to end the war.

An adviser to Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the Soviet Union (USSR) allegedly still exists from a legal standpoint, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi and Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation Andriy Kovalenko.
