President Donald Trump was incorrect when he said that Russia will accept European peacekeeping troops in Ukraine, the Kremlin signaled Tuesday.

A lot has changed since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine three years ago, including how the United States is approaching the conflict.

During a joint news conference on Monday, French President Emmanuel Macron interrupted President Donald Trump to clarify, “We provided real money.”

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says a contentious proposal that would have seen $500 billion worth of profits from Ukrainian rare minerals given to the U.S. as compensation for its wartime assistance to Kyiv has been taken off the table.

Dozens of people demonstrated in Boston in support of Ukraine, holding signs saying “Democracy is not for sale” and “Russia needs Ukraine.”

President Donald Trump has blamed Ukraine for starting the war that has cost tens of thousands of Ukrainian lives.

The president’s post included a number of inaccuracies and followed the administration’s attempt to reset relations with Russia by holding high-level talks on ending the war in Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to Donald Trump’s accusation that Ukraine started its war with Russia, saying that the American president is trapped in a “disinformation bubble” and adding that his country was not for sale.

President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that Ukraine was responsible for Russia’s invasion of the country three years ago, arguing Kyiv could have made a deal to avoid the conflict.

President Donald Trump suggested from his Mar-a-Lago resort on Tuesday that Ukraine was responsible for Russia’s invasion of the country three years ago. “This is something that should have never happened. You could have made a deal.”

The meeting between U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov marks the first formal sit-down meeting between top U.S. and Russian diplomats for several years.

The Kremlin says top Russian officials will hold talks with U.S. counterparts on restoring ties, ending the war in Ukraine and preparing a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Ukraine boasts vast reserves of ilmenite — a key element used to produce titanium — in the heavy mineral sands that stretch for miles along the country’s embattled east.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, national security adviser Mike Waltz and special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff are headed to Saudi Arabia to initiate negotiations toward peace between Russia and Ukraine, two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News.

The Ukrainian president told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that he doesn’t “want to think about” not having American support.

The Trump administration has suggested to Ukraine that the United States be granted 50% ownership of the country’s rare earth minerals, and signaled an openness to deploying American troops there to guard them if there’s a deal with Russia to end the war, according to four U.S. officials.

The vice president used the high-level security gathering that had been focusing on Russia and Ukraine to raise social issues animating many on the American right.

President Donald Trump says he and Russian President Vladimir Putin have agreed to begin “negotiations” on ending the Ukraine war.

Speaking at a NATO meeting in Belgium, the defense secretary said the U.S. would no longer tolerate an imbalanced relationship with its allies.
