As the host of the next World Cup, Trump sees the ball at his feet in thorny foreign policy situations involving Israel, Russia, Iran and Brazil.

Donald Trump stunned the world after declaring Ukraine was “in a position to fight and win back all” of its ground. Now, Russia is preparing a “big push” in response.

While Ukrainian officials say a massive influx of arms and technology is key to a major offensive to retake territory, analysts do not see that coming.

Kyiv (Ukraine) (AFP) – Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday vowed to carry on fighting in Ukraine if a peace deal cannot be reached, striking a defiant tone a day before Kyiv's allies gather in Paris to discuss security guarantees.

Such a meeting, however, must have a meaningful agenda, the Russian president has said

Russia fired a massive barrage of drones and missiles at targets across Ukraine on Wednesday, wounding several people in regions south and west of Kyiv and leaving thousands without power in the north. The attacks came as UK Defence Secretary John Healey arrived in Ukraine for talks on security cooperation.

The Russian president also defended his decision to invade Ukraine, once again blaming the war on the West.

Russia carried out a "massive" overnight attack on central and southeastern Ukraine, hitting Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk and other regions. At least one person was killed and 26 wounded as homes and businesses were damaged, officials said.
