President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to broker a peace deal in Ukraine, but as he prepares to take office, peace seems as elusive as ever.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico puts Moscow's policy ahead of Slovakia's interests. Europe is now working to overcome the consequences of his decisions, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his X post.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Europe that it has “no chance” against Russia without Ukraine. Speaking to Polish media outlet Onet, Zelenskyy said that Ukraine’s victory was vital to stopping the Kremlin before it could invade the rest of Europe.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will drive a hard bargain with President-elect Donald Trump on Ukraine, because he is confident that Russian military can outlast Ukraine’s and that Team Trump does not have leverage.

President Zelenskyy calls out Fico for ignoring Ukraine's offer to help with energy issues, emphasizing the importance of unity over ties with Russia.

The Ukrainian president said two North Korean soldiers were captured as prisoners of war by Ukrainian troops in Russia's Kursk region. Pyongyang has deployed thousands of troops to help Moscow in the war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that some 38,000 Russian troops have been killed or wounded fighting in Russia's western Kursk region since August.

Lukashenko's spokesperson denied on Monday that any apology took place, but confirmed that a call between both leaders soon after the war began.

In addition to the first captured soldiers from North Korea, there will undoubtedly be more. It's only a matter of time before our troops manage to capture others,' Zelenskyy said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he will again call on allies to boost his country's air defenses at a meeting this week in Germany, as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump takes over later this month with a vow to end the almost three-year war quickly.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy joined Lex Fridman for a three-hour conversation this past weekend, discussing history, a cease-fire, incoming President Trump, Elon Musk and more.

US securocrats pushed for expansionist policies in the 1990s that set the West and Russia on a path of confrontation.
