Overview

  • Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed a UN-led transitional administration in Ukraine to organize elections and replace President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a move rejected by the U.S. and European leaders.
  • Putin has vowed to 'finish off' Ukrainian forces and urged Ukrainian generals to overthrow Zelenskyy, escalating his rhetoric and military aggression.
  • Ukraine accuses Russia of stalling peace talks and using negotiations as a tactic to gain time for further offensives, with new attacks reported in Sumy, Kharkiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions.
  • Ceasefire agreements brokered by the Trump administration, including a Black Sea truce, have failed due to violations and disagreements, with both sides blaming each other for the breakdown.
  • European leaders continue to support Ukraine's sovereignty, rejecting Russian demands for sanctions relief while exploring additional military aid and peacekeeping options.
