Neither the fate nor the final content of the new “peace plan” proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump is clear. Negotiations between American representatives, the Ukrainian delegation, and the Europeans are only just beginning...
After the announcement of the first anti-Russian sanctions of the Donald Trump era, it turned out that many oil-refining enterprises in the so-called “Global South,” which had previously been purchasing Russian oil, began reducing their orders even before the sanctions came into force....
The main event of recent days was U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to impose the first large-scale sanctions against Russia since his return to the White House.

And indeed, it was the first negotiations between Russian and American presidents in many years. Trump’s predecessor, Joseph Biden, had held a virtual meeting with Putin on the eve of Russia’s major assault on Ukraine.
I am writing this text against the backdrop of yet another loud explosion in Kyiv. A ballistic missile launched by Russia at the Ukrainian capital detonated almost outside my window on the night before President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, was due to arrive in Moscow. Earlier there had been a massive combined missile-and-drone strike on Kyiv—possibly the largest in recent weeks...
