The US has drafted a new sanctions package against Russia targeting major energy and banking sectors. However, its enforcement hinges on President Donald Trump’s approval as Washington balances pressure with peace prospects. Amid ceasefire talks between Moscow and Kiev, Trump’s administration is weighing a deal recognizing Crimea and freezing the war front. Internal debate continues as senators demand harsher penalties, while others warn sanctions could derail diplomacy. The final decision rests with Trump, whose stance could reshape the conflict's trajectory and America's role in Ukraine's future.

In a major shift, the U.S. has stepped back from directly mediating Ukraine-Russia peace talks, urging both sides to present concrete proposals for ending the war. The move comes as President Trump grows frustrated with the lack of progress despite several meetings and major pro-Ukraine actions, including a $50 million arms package. With Crimea still a major sticking point, the U.S. withdrawal dims hopes for a near-term resolution.

Description: Ukraine launched a massive drone attack on the Russian-occupied Crimea on the night of May 1-2. Footage released by a Crimean handle called ‘CrimeanWinds’ showed that a Russian airfield in the area was destroyed even as Russian authorities claimed that they had shot down several Ukrainian drones and UAVs. This latest strikes comes just a day after U.S. approved a $50mn arms sale to Ukraine and peace talks remain in limbo.

U.S Special Envoy Steve Witkoff recently met Russian President Vladimir Putin in a bid to persuade Russia for a ceasefire deal in Ukraine. This was the 4th such meeting in just over 2 months, but there seems to be no breakthrough yet as Putin remains firm recognition of Russia's control over Crimea and the four regions under Russian control since 2022. With peace talks stalling, could a Putin-Trump summit be the only path forward?

US President Donald Trump has claimed Ukraine could be “crushed very shortly” unless it agrees to peace talks with Russia. In an interview with The Atlantic, Trump said he’s trying to save Ukraine by pushing for negotiations, suggesting Moscow is open to a deal. He criticized Kiev’s stance, especially on Crimea, and hinted Zelensky was tougher to negotiate with than Putin. Meanwhile, Vice President Vance echoed similar concerns, and Secretary of State Rubio warned of the US abandoning talks if delays persist. Trump is also seeking a minerals agreement with Ukraine.

The Armed Forces minister has said the responsibility to end the war in Ukraine "is solely on Putin", as Russia and Ukraine agree to a Black Sea ceasefire deal. Luke Pollard adds, "we will continue to support our friends in Ukraine to guarantee their freedom and sovereignty for as long as it takes". On the leaked White House Signal messages criticising Europe, Pollard says President Donald Trump is "right" to call on European countries to step up on defence spending. Report by Brooksl.

A shadow Treasury minister has cautiously welcomed the ceasefire in the Black Sea between Russia and Ukraine, saying President Vladimir Putin should be judged on his actions rather than his words. On the leaked White House Signal messages criticising Europe, James Wild adds, "it's a fair challenge" to call on Europe to increase defence spending but adds, "I wouldn't use that language".
