The country of Russia bombarded the Eastern European nation of Ukraine overnight ahead of a scheduled Monday Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has expressed hope that US President Donald Trump's "reasonable" position on the Ukrainian conflict will influence the European Union's stance on the matter, RT reported on Tuesday.

During a press briefing on Tuesday, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce was asked about the state of peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

The U.K. chaired a Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting to discuss rapid transfer of arms including Patriot missiles, as the Britain responds to President Donald Trump's 50-day ultimatum to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Fifty western allies are meeting today to discuss the US pledge – but it's best not to get too excited by this "really big" idea.

Days after the United States decided to pause key arms shipments to Ukraine, President Donald Trump reversed the decision, pledging to send additional military aid to help Kyiv defend itself from a surge in Russian attacks.

The barrage of exploding drones and missiles appeared to be the most intense attack since President Trump announced a plan to get more weapons for Kyiv.

President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, was heading to the Middle East as the U.S. tries once again to reach a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, a breakthrough that has eluded the administration for months as conditions worsen in Gaza.

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said on Fox News on Tuesday that sanctioning Russian oil to end the Ukraine war is a "very real possibility."
