Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky moved quickly on Sunday to ease fresh tensions with Washington, offering a public note of gratitude to President Donald Trump after the U.S. leader sharply criticized Kyiv in the middle of high-stakes talks in Geneva aimed at ending the war with Russia.

Trump, whose position on Ukraine has swung repeatedly during his second term, lashed out earlier on his Truth Social platform, saying Ukrainian officials had shown “ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS.” He was referring to his proposed plan to end the nearly four-year conflict — a plan that, in its earliest form, echoed several of …

Ukraine Allies To Press Trump Peace Plan At G20 Amid Kyiv Fears

November 22, 2025 5:40 am

Ukraine’s Western backers will meet at the G20 summit in South Africa on Saturday to discuss how to adjust a White House peace proposal that Kyiv worries could force painful concessions, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said after talks with fellow European leaders.

The meeting comes as President Volodymyr Zelensky warns Ukraine is facing “one of the most difficult moments in our history” following leaks of the US proposal, which includes terms long rejected by Kyiv and widely viewed in Europe as favourable to Moscow. Neither President Donald Trump nor Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend the summit.

Karius Rises As Schalke’s Steady New Heartbeat

November 16, 2025 7:15 am

Loris Karius has lived enough highs and lows for several careers, but this season in Gelsenkirchen has given him something he has searched for since that night in Kyiv: a clean slate. Schalke supporters have taken to calling him the phoenix of Schalke—a nod not just to his revival, but to the way he seems to have pulled the club up with him. And in many ways, the nickname fits. After years of drifting through uncertain spells, Karius has become the anchor of a team rediscovering its identity.

His numbers tell one story: just seven goals conceded across twelve league …

Kyiv Reels As Overnight Barrage Leaves One Dead

November 14, 2025 7:11 am

Kyiv woke to another night of fear turned reality, as a sweeping Russian strike tore through the capital, killing an elderly woman and injuring more than two dozen others. Ukraine’s emergency service described the assault as “massive,” a wave of missiles and drones that left entire blocks rattled and residents once again counting the cost of a war now entering yet another winter.

Fires broke out across much of the city, and rescue crews moved through smoke-filled stairwells to pull more than 40 people from damaged buildings. Among the injured was a 10-year-old boy. Kyiv’s mayor, Vitaly Klitschko, said a …

Kyiv awoke to another night of terror after Russian forces unleashed what Ukrainian officials described as a “massive attack” on the capital and multiple regions across the country. At least four people were killed and 27 wounded in the capital, while a separate strike on Zaporizhzhia injured 16, including three children.

Ukraine’s foreign minister said Moscow had launched “hundreds of drones and missiles” in the overnight bombardment, one of the heaviest in recent months.

Ukrainian Journalist Released After 3 Years In Captivity

September 16, 2025 7:17 am

For three and a half years, Ukrainian journalist Dmytro Khyliuk endured beatings, hunger, and uncertainty in Russian custody — without ever being charged with a crime. Now, following a rare prisoner swap, he is free.

Khyliuk, who was seized in February 2022 during Russia’s initial assault on Kyiv, was among eight Ukrainian civilians unexpectedly included in an exchange last month that freed 146 Ukrainians in total. Most were soldiers, emaciated after years in detention, but Khyliuk’s release stood out: Russia rarely returns civilians.

“When they dragged us away, they beat us with rubber batons, shouting, ‘How many people have you …
