In 2026, the very definition of the collective West will change after Washington’s withdrawal from the “global policeman’s” role and the end of the “Western hegemony” over the rest of the world, according to Kyiv-based analyst Ihar Tyshkevich.

There was no immediate confirmation from the White House about a meeting, which President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has sought since the latest U.S.-.led push for peace got underway.

The United States and Ukraine have reached a consensus on several critical issues to end the nearly four-year conflict with Russia.

Russia launched one of its largest aerial attacks this month on Ukraine overnight, killing at least three people and injuring at least 17 others, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky, as Ukraine’s leader received his first face-to-face briefing with his negotiating team on their arrival back from talks in the US.

The blueprint covers a broad range of issues, including territory, security guarantees and postwar reconstruction. But Russia has indicated little willingness to end the war.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy outlined for the first time the main points of a draft 20-point framework peace proposal discussed by Ukraine and the United States, which he said could become the basis of future agreements to end war with Russia.

Like all of present-day Ukraine, the show — which is part of an international franchise — has had to deal with a multitude of wartime challenges, including frequent power outages.

Russian forces control about 95 percent of what’s left of the city, which they aggressively shelled like much of Ukraine they have sought to control.

Putin claims no "willingness from Ukraine" to negotiate a peace deal as he touts battlefield gains, and Kyiv claims a brazen strike on a ship far from Russia.

Zelensky says draft documents prepared after US talks but Moscow insists no breakthrough - The talks came before Russia fired 680 drones and missile at Ukraine, including Kyiv, overnight on Tuesday
