Ukraine

Republicans against Trump: JD Vance says that Trump’s “peace plan” for Ukraine is to let Russia keep all the Ukrainian territory they currently occupy (nearly 20% of Ukraine) and give Russia a guarantee that Ukraine will never join NATO and any other “allies institution”

CNN - Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned NATO alliance leaders that a move to lift restrictions on Ukraine's use of longer-range Western missiles to strike deep inside his country would be considered an act of war. "This will mean that NATO countries — the United States and European countries — are at war with Russia. And if this is the case, then, bearing in mind the change in the essence of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions in response to the threats that will be posed to us," Putin said Thursday. Putin's comments come as President Joe Biden and NATO partners appear increasingly open to the possibility of allowing Ukrainian forces to use Western-provided long-range weapons systems to strike at Russian military targets.
