Trump did not rule out the possibility of American troops helping to guarantee peace between Ukraine and Russia should the leaders reach an agreement.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed the idea of "raising the level of representatives" at Ukraine talks in a 40-minute call following the U.S. leader's meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy,

But, given the pushback he got from the Kremlin, Trump did not have room to promise much more. Last week, after his summit with Putin in Alaska, he had already set aside his main source of leverage over the Russians—the threat of sanctions and tariffs that could weaken Putin’s economy. “We don’t have to think about that right now,” Trump remarked.

Trump said he and the Russian leader spoke last week about what they see as the problems with mail-in voting. Since then, Trump has pushed again for the U.S. to end the practice.

The meeting is notable in how American churches are embroiled in controversies involving Orthodoxy in Ukraine.

Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume did not mince words Monday, calling Russian President Vladimir Putin “a fool” and saying the Russian leader’s invasion of Ukraine was an “utter failure” that will ultimately leave him paying a steep price.

Vladimir Putin hasn't made "a single concession" with respect to ending his war against Ukraine, retired Gen. Jack Keane said.

The last time Volodymyr Zelensky set foot in the Oval Office must have been one of the worst days of his life. The disgraceful barracking, the finger-pointing, the insults over his clothing; all left him deeply humiliated.
