President Donald Trump has long worked to bring peace to Ukraine, but his recent major policy adjustments in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s reticence toward peace could finally present Trump’s chance to make a deal,

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced a major reshuffle in his government. Yulia Svyrydenko is the new prime minister, outgoing PM Denys Shmyhal takes over defence, and he has nominated Olga Stefanishyna as the new US ambassador.

What we need is greater capacity to push the war back onto Russia’s territory — back to where the war was brought from," Zelenskyy said.

Donald Trump has privately encouraged Ukraine to step up deep strikes on Russian territory, even asking Volodymyr Zelenskyy whether he could strike Moscow if the US provided long-range weapons, according to people briefed on the discussions.

A new Ukrainian government, expected to be approved Thursday, will race to expand domestic arms production to meet half the country's weapons needs within six months as it tries to push back Russia's invasion,

The need to adequately arm Ukraine’s military is pressing as Russia looks to drive forward its summer offensive and pounds Ukrainian cities with hundreds of drones and ballistic and cruise missiles.
