By Andrew Osborn (Reuters) - "Disrespectful", "insulting", and "ill-informed." Donald Trump's threats aimed at strong-arming Moscow into ending its war in Ukraine have been badly received by some politicians and nationalists in Russia who say his tactics bode ill for a deal.

The scale of the attack represents a significant escalation in the conflict, showcasing Ukraine's increasing reliance on drones.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the U.S. has not stopped military aid to Ukraine after newly sworn in U.S.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in remarks published on Friday that he saw no objective signs that Ukraine or the West were ready for peace talks despite all their increasingly loud statements about the need for such talks.

Trump claims that the Ukrainian leader decided he ‘wanted to fight’ when it was actually Russia who started hostilities between the two countries

The Kremlin says a settlement in Ukraine can’t be facilitated by a drop in global oil prices as U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested

A civil aviation pilot in Russia has been arrested on treason charges for allegedly donating money to Ukraine's military, Russian media outlets reported on Friday.

Trump in his first days in office has leaned in on the idea that OPEC+, the alliance of oil producing nations, holds the key to ending the war by reducing oil prices.

Kyiv says it struck a Russian oil refinery and a microchip factory in attack which Moscow says contained 120 drones

Videos showed fireballs over a facility in Ryazan, 110 miles southeast of Moscow. Kyiv is seeking to disrupt Russian military logistics and put pressure on the country’s economy by striking its oil industry.

Across Russian-occupied Ukraine, Kremlin troops have shuttered places of worship since the first invasion began in 2014. Religious persecution only increased after the full-scale invasion in February 2022—proof that Putin’s conquest contains a religious component, say local Protestant leaders.
