President Trump has abandoned a push for a cease-fire, arguing instead for a full peace agreement, a position held by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

President Trump is set to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders on Monday as the U.S. pursues a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.

By arriving as a group, they hope to avoid any debacles like Zelenskyy’s February meeting where Trump chastised him for not showing enough gratitude.

The protections that the US and Europe would be able to provide to Ukraine are similar to NATO's collective defense mandate.

Fresh off President Donald Trump’s Friday summit with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Sen. Lindsey Graham thinks the next phase of American diplomacy over the war in Ukraine needs to target Moscow’s pocketbook.

"If peace is not going to be possible here and this is just going to continue on as a war, people will continue to die by the thousands ... we may unfortunately wind up there, but we don't want to wind up there,

Speaking after Friday’s summit, President Putin again implied that the war is all about Russia’s diminished status since the fall of the Soviet Union.

President Donald Trump warned that "severe consequences" lie ahead for Russia if Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn't agree to stop the Ukraine war after they meet for a high-stakes summit in Alaska on Friday.
