Ukrainian negotiators plan to present a proposed roadmap for a long-term peace settlement during the upcoming talks in Istanbul, according to Reuters.

President Donald Trump and Germany's new chancellor, Friedrich Merz, will meet Thursday at the White House to talk about the ongoing war in Ukraine.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin told him that Moscow would retaliate against Ukraine's major drone attack over the weekend, casting doubt that a peace deal to end the war could come soon.

Senior Ukrainian officials visited Washington on Tuesday seeking U.S. support against Russia, as Kyiv showed its ability to fight on by setting off an explosive device under a bridge that has become a symbol of the Kremlin's claims on Ukrainian territory.
