Russia’s war in Ukraine continues, despite US President Donald Trump’s promise to end the conflict within 24 hours of his return to office in January. Should Trump succeed in brokering a peace deal, the agreement will have to address the future of Ukraine’s occupied lands.

Ukraine has relinquished its ambition of joining the NATO military alliance in exchange for Western security guarantees as a compromise to end the war with Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said ahead of talks with U.S. envoys in Berlin.

A 1,000-strong "dark fleet" of rogue tankers evading sanctions has become a new target for the U.S. and Ukraine, according to a senior maritime intelligence analyst.

Germany plans to deepen its defense cooperation with Ukraine, including for the first time the possibility of acquiring weapons and battlefield data from Kyiv, alongside a potential peace agreement under discussion in Berlin.

President Trump pushes Kyiv to strike a quick deal with Moscow, but his Ukrainian counterpart wants security guarantees.

The latest overnight attacks come as US envoy Steve Witkoff prepares to hold more talks with Ukraine's president.

The founder of Russia's opposition Yabloko party, which wants a ceasefire in Ukraine, has said his party will keep campaigning despite the arrest of two senior figures, a move he said was meant to derail it before next year's parliamentary election.

Russia targeted Ukraine's energy infrastructure with missile and drone strikes in another "massive attack" Friday night into Saturday morning, Ukrainian officials said.

After almost four years of Russia's full-scale war, Kyiv is running out of cash, and needs an estimated €135.7bn over the next two years.

U.S. peace negotiators have told Ukraine during peace talks in Berlin that it must agree to withdraw its forces from the eastern Donetsk region as part of any deal to end the nearly four-year-old war,
