Trump Claims He Can ‘End Ukraine War’ as US Cuts Secret Deal with Putin

The Trump administration and Russian officials held their first direct talks on ending the Ukraine war in Saudi Arabia, marking a significant shift in US diplomatic strategy that excluded Ukraine from the initial discussions. The 4.5-hour meeting in Riyadh represented the first direct US-Russian diplomatic engagement in resolving Europe's deadliest conflict since World War Two. During the talks, Russia maintained its firm stance against Ukraine joining NATO. President Trump expressed optimism following the meeting, indicating he would likely meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin before month's end. Trump dismissed concerns about Ukraine's absence, suggesting Kyiv should have initiated negotiations earlier, and claimed he could end the conflict. The talks have sparked controversy, with European leaders expressing concern about negotiations occurring without Ukraine's involvement. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz emphasized that decisions cannot be made without Ukraine's participation. Some European politicians criticized […]

Australia Confirms Captured Citizen Alive in Russian Custody

Australian officials have received confirmation from Moscow that Oscar Jenkins, a 32-year-old teacher who was fighting for Ukraine, remains alive in Russian custody. This news comes after previous reports suggested he had died while being held captive. Foreign Minister Penny Wong issued a statement Wednesday, confirming Jenkins' status, though expressing continued concern for his welfare as a prisoner of war. The Australian government has called for his release and emphasized Russia's obligations under international humanitarian law regarding prisoner treatment. Prior to this confirmation, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had been urgently seeking information about Jenkins' status. Ukraine's ambassador to Australia welcomed the news but requested video evidence of Jenkins' well-being from Russian authorities. Jenkins, believed to be the first Australian held as a prisoner of war in the Ukraine conflict, was last seen in a December video showing him bound and […]

British Prime Minister Makes First Ukraine Visit, Signs Partnership Agreement

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer conducted his first official visit to Kyiv on Thursday, where he participated in a memorial ceremony with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and signed a bilateral partnership agreement. The leaders laid wreaths at a memorial wall at St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery, honoring those who died in the ongoing conflict. The wall, featuring photographs of the deceased, serves as a memorial site for families. During the visit, Starmer toured several locations, including a burns hospital supported by the British Red Cross, where he met with injured civilians.

Massive Christmas Day Attack Leaves Millions of Ukrainians in Dark

A large-scale attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure occurred on December 25, affecting multiple regions across the country. Ukraine's air defense systems detected 184 missiles and drones during the assault, with their military reporting that numerous projectiles were intercepted or failed to reach their targets. The strike resulted in widespread power outages throughout Ukraine, including the capital city, Kyiv. Residents sought shelter in metro stations during the attack. In Kharkiv, the northeastern city and Ukraine's second-largest population center, approximately 500,000 residents lost access to water, electricity, and heating services during winter conditions, according to regional authorities. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the timing of the attack, stating it demonstrated Russia's "conscious choice" to strike on Christmas Day. Ukraine recently changed its traditional Christmas observance from January 7 to December 25, departing from the Julian calendar still followed by Russia. Russia's defense […]

Massive Russian Missile Attack Targets Ukrainian Infrastructure, Killing Civilians

A devastating barrage of Russian missiles and drones rained down on Ukraine overnight, targeting critical infrastructure and causing widespread power outages across the country. The attack, one of the largest since the beginning of the war, resulted in at least 10 civilian deaths and significant damage to energy facilities. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the attacks, stating that peaceful cities and critical infrastructure were deliberately targeted. The assault, which involved an estimated 120 missiles and 90 drones, impacted multiple regions, including the capital Kyiv, as well as Donetsk, Lviv, and Odesa. DTEK, Ukraine's largest private energy company, reported "significant damage" to its thermal power plants, leading to widespread blackouts. Ukrenergo, the state-owned energy operator, announced it would implement emergency power restrictions across the country. The attacks have raised concerns about Ukraine's ability to maintain essential services as winter approaches. Ukrainian […]

EU Expands Military Aid to Member States for Ukraine

In a significant move, the European Union has for the first time directly funded joint procurement of weapons by member states, including air defense systems, armored vehicles, and artillery ammunition. This โ‚ฌ300 million initiative will allow groups of up to 9 EU countries to collectively acquire equipment, some of which will then be provided as military aid to Ukraine. The decision represents the EU's growing role in bolstering the defense capabilities of its member states, as well as its commitment to supporting Ukraine against the ongoing Russian invasion. European Commission Vice-President Margrethe Vestager described the move as "importantly increasing our support to Ukraine with additional defense equipment." However, the EU has faced criticism for falling short of its previous pledge to supply Ukraine with a million artillery shells by the end of March 2024. The EU's foreign policy chief, Josep […]
