After meeting with Defence Minister Rustem Umierov, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced decisions regarding changes in state institutions, particularly improving relations with the United States and taking new steps in defence management.

President Trump is weighing new funding for Ukraine for the first time since taking office in January, diplomatic sources told CBS News.

Moran, a Republican, said Trump would rely on authority granted the administration to oppose aggression of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who dramatically escalated conflict in Ukraine during 2022. This week, Trump said Russian forces were violating human rights and Ukraine needed arms such as the Patriot air defense missile.

The Senate wants to increase funding for Ukraine's military by $200 million after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth paused Ukraine aid.

President Trump said Monday his administration will send more defensive weapons to Ukraine amid its war with Russia, days after pausing some weapons shipments.

The US Department of Defense (DoD) currently has only 25 percent of the interceptors needed for all its military plans, with conflicts in the Middle East contributing to the shortage.

Former Vice President Mike Pence says he thinks isolationists “may have lost some of their footing” in President Donald Trump’s administration, as he praised Trump’s tougher talk toward Russia’s Vladimir Putin and his decision to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities.

Rubio says those weapons could be transferred to Ukraine, with European countries buying replacements from the U.S.

The Kremlin said on Tuesday that it would take time to clarify what weapons the United States is supplying and will supply to Ukraine after President Donald Trump said Washington would have to send more arms to Kyiv.

Donald Trump appears to have turned on Vladimir Putin, after appearing publicly frustrated with the Russian president this week.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. and Russia have exchanged new ideas for Ukraine peace talks after he met with his Russian counterpart in Malaysia on Thursday.

The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russia did not think peace talks on Ukraine have stalled despite Donald Trump's remarks about Russian President Vladimir Putin and Washington's resumption of some weapons to Ukraine.
