Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged President Donald Trump to get tougher with Russia’s Vladimir Putin, saying he was ready to join their upcoming summit in Budapest and remained optimis

EXCLUSIVE – Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) is teasing a series of votes punishing Russia for the war in Ukraine, calling legislation that cleared a key Senate panel this week part of a “toolbox” of options meant to bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table.

Donald Trump hit Russia's two biggest oil companies with sanctions in his latest sharp policy shift on Moscow's war in Ukraine.

The Kremlin denied Tuesday that it was holding up President Donald Trump’s latest push to end the war in Ukraine, and insisted it had not changed its demands ahead of possible talks. Trump had announced that Russia and the United States' top diplomats would meet this week, with his own summit with Vladimir Putin to follow in Budapest, Hungary.

President Volodymyr Zelensky told Axios that President Trump's new sanctions will hurt the Russian war machine, but Ukraine still needs long-range missiles to force Vladimir Putin to make peace. Why it matters: It's been a head-spinning two weeks for Zelensky.
