NATO fighter jets were scrambled and air defense systems put on alert in Poland in response to Russia’s latest overnight drone and missile strikes in Ukraine.

European officials are convinced that Ukraine-Russia peace talks have reached a “decisive moment” this week, as President Trump’s officials prepare to speak directly with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky about a 20-point plan to end the war.

Russia has unleashed a fresh barrage of overnight missile and drone attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

After being blindsided by President Donald Trump’s 28-point plan last month, some Europeans have expressed extreme disquiet at being apparently sidelined in talks.

At least three oil tankers have been hit by explosions in what appears to be a stepped up unilateral effort by Ukraine to sink Russia's sanctions-dodging oil sales.

Ukraine’s cheap, effective drones boost defense and exports, but extensive politicization and complex bureaucracy risk slowing production at a critical moment.

NATO’s secretary general referenced the recent explosion on a Polish train route used by allies for delivering weapons to Ukraine.

Ukrainian officials are expected to present new peace proposals to U.S. negotiators Wednesday. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says this comes ahead of urgent talks on Thursday with leaders from about 30 countries supporting Ukraine’s efforts to end Russia's nearly 4-year-old full-scale invasion.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday he was prepared to hold elections within three months if the U.S. and other Kyiv allies could ensure the security of the vote.
