Russian dictator Vladimir Putin threatened President Trump not to send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine in a phone call set in motion by White House special envoy Steve Witkoff ahead of a high-stakes meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

During a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stressed that despite certain positive results from the peace talks in Geneva, Ukraine still needs support from its allies.

Despite promising progress, Zelensky has stressed that Ukraine cannot sign off on any agreement without explicit provisions to safeguard the country’s future.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s chief advisor, Andriy Yermak, was in the middle of an interview with Post on Tuesday when Trump posted on Truth Social the next steps in the Russia-Ukraine plans.

Volodymyr Zelensky said he and the US are working to carve out a ‘dignified and effective’ path for peace. But he has warned that his wartorn country faces a ‘very difficult choice’

The Trump administration seems serious about reaching a deal despite all the apparent chaos around its efforts.

Mr. Trump, who promised to end the war on his first day in office, has vacillated wildly in his position. At times, he has backed Mr. Putin’s demands for territorial concessions from Ukraine. At others, he has expressed annoyance at Mr. Putin and backed continued U.S. military support for Ukraine.

The Monday attacks occurred in the wake of a Ukrainian drone strike on Sunday against the Shatura Power Station, located approximately 120 km (75 miles) east of Moscow. This assault resulted in heating being cut off for thousands of residents in the town of some 33,000 people, where temperatures were near freezing.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he is ready to work with the US on "their vision" for ending the war with Russia. Under the widely leaked plan, Kyiv would cede significant areas of the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine that it still controls, cut the size of its army, and pledge not to join Nato - proposals it has previously ruled out.
