Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Donald Trump of trying to pressure Kyiv into surrendering to Russia, escalating a week-long row with the US president. Zelenskyy also offered a new proposal to accede to Trump’s request to stop targeting Russian refineries in exchange for deliveries of more Patriot air-defense missiles. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin proposed a meeting with Trump and China’s Xi Jinping next month to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, the Wall Street Journal reported.
