Russia-Ukraine War

Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the EU has sought to reduce its dependence on energy from Russia.

Moscow’s comments follow a meeting between Trump administration officials and Russian representatives on Dec. 2.

Pokrovsk, a heavily fortified industrial town, has been the site of intense fighting for the past 18 months.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s top foreign advisor called the talks “constructive,” but cited lingering disagreements on territorial issues.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused NATO of ‘whipping up’ anti-Russian hysteria of an imminent attack by Moscow.

The U.S. special envoy’s trip follows talks between Washington and Kyiv in Florida over the weekend.

U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is headed to Russia on Monday to continue negotiations.

Ukraine replaced its lead negotiator after he stepped down amid a major corruption scandal.

Friedrich Merz has been vocal in his support of the idea of using Moscow’s assets immobilized within the EU to fund Ukraine’s war effort and reconstruction.

The two leaders talked oil and gas, with Putin expressing willingness for Budapest to host a U.S.-Russia summit.

This is the Russian leader’s first public response to the 28-point draft proposal to ending the war in Ukraine.

Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov confirmed there was a preliminary agreement for Trump’s envoy to travel to the Russian capital.

The U.S. president had earlier suggested Thanksgiving as a possible deadline for Russia and Ukraine to come to an agreement on ending the war.

An Army spokesperson said Secretary Dan Driscoll ‘closely synchronized with the White House’ for the talks in Abu Dhabi.

EU Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius said that while Ukraine needs the EU, the bloc needs Kyiv’s defense innovations ‘even more.’

European leaders are meeting in person and via video link on the sidelines of a EU-African Union summit in Luanda, Angola.

The new proposal places greater emphasis on security guarantees for Ukraine after a previous proposal was criticized as being too friendly to Moscow.
