Biggest Strike Since July: Russia Hits West Ukraine as Diplomacy Ramps Up Russia launched its heaviest barrage in weeks, firing 614 drones and missiles, most intercepted, Ukraine’s air force reported. A deadly strike in Lviv killed one and injured three, while 15 were wounded in Transcarpathia, where a U.S. electronics factory was hit. The timing is stark as Trump pushes for peace talks after his meetings with Putin and Zelensky. The Ukrainian leader said he’s open to neutral venues like Switzerland or Austria but ruled out Budapest. He also noted Russia’s lack of real intent for negotiations and warned of troop movements toward Zaporizhzhia. INSIDER | UK

Trump Pushes for Putin-Zelensky Talks as Kremlin Signals Caution Donald Trump says he wants Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky to meet without him “to see what happens,” after his recent summit with the Russian leader in Alaska. The Kremlin, however, has downplayed expectations, insisting any talks must be prepared “gradually.” Ukraine refuses to hold talks in Moscow, and doubts remain over Putin’s willingness for peace. Meanwhile, Russia struck Odesa and Sumy overnight, injuring civilians. European leaders warn optimism is premature, with Macron calling Putin “a predator.” INSIDER | UK

Israel to Mobilise 60,000 Reservists for Gaza City Assault Israel is calling up 60,000 reservists for a planned ground assault to seize Gaza City, officials confirmed. The operation, approved by Defence Minister Israel Katz, aims to fully capture the city after failed ceasefire talks with Hamas. Evacuations of hundreds of thousands of residents are expected, while the UN warns of a “horrific humanitarian impact.” Mediators have proposed a 60-day truce and partial hostage release, but Israel insists on a full deal.

The Oval Office map is shaping Trump’s Ukraine strategy. Displayed in full view during Monday’s talks, the map showed Russian forces controlling about 20% of Ukraine, shaded in red. Trump later told Fox News: “A big chunk of territory is taken and that territory has been taken,” signaling pressure on Kyiv to consider territorial compromise. Zelensky disagreed, presenting his own map and claiming Russia has gained less than 1% new ground in 1,000 days. The White House map listed Russian control as: Luhansk 99%, Donetsk 76%, Zaporizhzhia & Kherson 73%, with minor presence in other regions. Experts say taking the full Donbas could take Russia years despite recent gains. UK intelligence estimates four more years to seize the four annexed regions. Zelensky summed up his stance after the map debate: “I’m thinking how to take it back.” INSIDER | UK

Four main points from Zelensky-Trump talks in Washington Volodymyr Zelensky returned to the White House on Monday to meet Donald Trump in a bid to move closer to ending the war in Ukraine. Several European leaders also joined the talks, held just days after Trump’s Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin produced no ceasefire. By Monday evening, no firm security guarantees or peace steps were announced. 1. Putin-Zelensky meeting on the horizon? Trump said he had spoken to Putin on Monday to explore arranging direct talks with Zelensky, potentially followed by a trilateral with the US. The Kremlin called the idea “worthwhile,” though Moscow has so far rejected such meetings. 2. Europe resists as Trump dismisses ceasefire Trump suggested a ceasefire was unnecessary before negotiations, a stance at odds with Europe. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz insisted talks should not happen without one. Zelensky notably avoided repeating his own past calls for a truce. 3. Security guarantees in focus Trump pledged the US would help ensure Ukraine’s security, hinting at possible military support but stopping short of specifics. Zelensky later announced a $90bn arms deal, including advanced US systems, and said security guarantees could be finalized in 10 days. 4. Zelensky plays the charm card The Ukrainian leader adopted a conciliatory tone, thanking Trump repeatedly and delivering a personal letter from his wife to Melania Trump. He also ditched his military attire for a dark suit, aiming to reset relations after February’s tense meeting. INSIDER | UK

Zelensky Complimented on His Suit Before White House Talks Before meeting European leaders, Zelensky and Trump addressed the press.

Trump to Push Zelensky on Donbas Concessions Amid Alaska Summit Fallout Donald Trump is expected to urge Volodymyr Zelensky to cede Donetsk and Luhansk to Russia in exchange for freezing current front lines, according to reports. The proposal, raised by Vladimir Putin in Alaska, has drawn outrage in Ukraine, where 75% oppose any territorial concessions. Zelensky insists Ukraine’s constitution forbids surrendering land and warns Russia could use annexed areas for future attacks. The Donbas region, rich in industry and home to millions of displaced Ukrainians, has symbolic and economic significance. As war fatigue deepens, some argue life matters more than land, while others say concessions would “look like treason.” Any deal would face legal hurdles, requiring parliamentary approval or a referendum. Trump has hinted at offering NATO-style security guarantees to Kyiv—a move many see as crucial to any potential agreement. INSIDER | UK

Trump Shifts from Ceasefire to Full Peace Deal as Zelensky Heads to Washington After meeting Putin in Alaska, Trump now wants a comprehensive peace deal, not a ceasefire—a move unsettling Kyiv and Europe. Russia reportedly demanded Ukrainian withdrawal from Donetsk in exchange for freezing southern front lines. European leaders, including Macron, Starmer, and von der Leyen, will join Zelensky at the White House to ensure Ukraine is not sidelined. While Trump’s envoy suggested NATO-style security guarantees could be offered, experts question their credibility without formal NATO membership. Zelensky insists Ukraine will never cede territory and that any final settlement requires a prior ceasefire. Monday’s meeting comes amid growing concerns that Trump may align with Moscow’s terms.
