rainews.it (Italian) —

US President Donald Trump is pressuring Ukraine to cede territory in the Donbas to Russia, with his envoy Steve Witkoff meeting Russian officials today. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas accused US negotiators of pushing Ukraine toward surrender. Trump stated Ukraine must reach a deal, claiming the US has spent $350 billion and that Europe is tired of the conflict. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow will evaluate US proposals but will make no political concessions, adding "the music has changed" regarding Western dominance. A Ukrainian hospital operating room was hit by a drone in Kiev, injuring a patient. Reports indicate Trump wants to persuade Zelensky to accept territorial concessions in exchange for economic benefits, while Ukraine claims the US is deliberately delaying Patriot interceptor deliveries.
