Russia-Ukraine War

Zelenskyy, on April 22, reiterated his opposition to recognizing Moscow’s sovereignty claims over land that Russian forces have taken from Ukraine.

‘I think that we’ve put together a very fair proposal,’ the vice president said.

The meeting was postponed after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio canceled his planned visit to London, where he had been slated to take part in the talks.

The prime ministers of the two countries announced that a new joint defence partnership will be drawn up, to replace one signed in 2015.

Spain is one of several NATO member nations that have lagged behind the alliance’s 2014 military spending goal.

The Russian leader’s remarks follow the recent expiry of a 30-hour Easter cease-fire.

Nikola Tesla foresaw remote-controlled naval warfare in 1898, and Ukraine’s Katran torpedo drone is turning warships into relics of the past.

Ukraine’s Zelenskyy tells military to respond in kind to renewed Russian attacks.

Prior to the Easter truce, Trump said that the U.S. government would abandon efforts to mediate an end to the war if either side refused to cooperate.

‘It’s unlikely Indonesia would agree to a Russian base, but it’s very likely they’d allow Russian aircraft to use facilities,' said Michael Shoebridge.

On April 18, Trump and Rubio said the United States will walk away from peace negotiations unless there are definitive signs of progress soon.

The UAE-brokered prisoner exchange was made on the same day Russian President Vladimir Putin unilaterally declared a 30-hour Easter cease-fire.

The Élysée said the purpose of the meeting was to allow Ukraine to better understand the American proposals.

Russia has announced a unilateral Easter truce amid rising U.S. pressure for a breakthrough in peace negotiations with Ukraine.

With U.S. frustration rising, Marco Rubio warned that the Trump administration could abandon its peacemaking efforts in the absence of any clear progress.

The Ukrainian leader accuses China of arming Russia in violation of a wartime pledge.

Following Rubio’s comments, the Kremlin said it was committed to resolving the conflict and open to dialogue.

Ukraine’s economy minister Yulia Syvrydenko said the text of the agreement would be finalized next week after further talks in Washington.

The agreement would grant Washington revenues from Kyiv’s exploitation of rare minerals, hydrocarbons, oil, and natural gas.

The pair have been leading the Trump administration’s efforts to procure a peace deal in Ukraine and end the war.
