"There are now growing hints of US pressure on Ukraine to end the war as soon as possible and preferably before the summer, even at the cost of accepting far-reaching concessions. On Monday, Matthew Whitaker rejected Ukraine's claims that the US set a deadline to end the war by June, saying I don't think that is anything that the United States has put out there (Europe Live, Monday)."
At least four people died in overnight Russian strikes on Ukraine, with fires after a drone attack in Bogodukhiv, Kharkiv region. The Ukrainian air force identified 129 Russian drones and said 112 were shot down or neutralised. US pressure appears to be increasing, with Washington reportedly urging Kyiv to end the war quickly even at the cost of significant concessions; a US official denied a June deadline claim. Ukraine is reportedly preparing presidential elections and a referendum on a peace deal, potentially as early as May, though implementation would depend on progress in talks with Russia, which shows no signs of compromise. Ursula von der Leyen called for removing economic barriers and deepening the EU internal market.
