This follows a pause in US military aid and intelligence support to Ukraine. Trump urged both Russia and Ukraine to negotiate a peace agreement. Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, is in discussions with both countries for a peace framework and plans to meet with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia next week. Meanwhile, Ukraine's position in the Kursk region has deteriorated, with Russian forces damaging energy infrastructure. President Zelensky has called for a truce.
