The Trump administration made clear it will abandon peace attempts for Ukraine if Russia fails to adhere to any terms, but the president did not say whether there would be consequences.

Special envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to offer Moscow a “carrot” of reduced sanction and unfrozen assets, a senior Trump adviser told The Post.

The US has suggested it could abandon its efforts to broker a permanent ceasefire within days, having seemingly grown frustrated by a lack of progress. Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Vladimir Putin is not serious about ending the war.
