Overview

  • Donald Trump's mediation efforts have led to partial ceasefire agreements, but both Russia and Ukraine continue aerial attacks, undermining progress.
  • Ukraine launched a drone strike on a Russian airbase, while Russia targeted Ukrainian civilian and energy infrastructure, causing significant damage and casualties.
  • European leaders are advancing plans for a peacekeeping force, though Russia opposes NATO involvement, and the U.S. has not committed to supporting the initiative militarily.
  • Trump proposed U.S. control of Ukrainian nuclear plants as part of a broader ceasefire deal, but Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has pushed back on the idea.
  • Negotiations are set to continue in Saudi Arabia next week, with discussions focusing on limiting energy strikes and potential resource agreements.
