"President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy say they are closer to achieving peace in Ukraine. The two met yesterday at Mar-a-Lago. Meanwhile, Russia's attacks on Ukraine continued over the weekend, and key issues remain unresolved. The fact that the two leaders met is a sign of momentum toward a peace deal, NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben tells Up First. But a peace didn't appear to be imminent after the meeting, and both leaders said that talks would continue."
"Israeli officials say they see no signs that Hamas is ready to disarm, which may prompt Netanyahu to urge the U.S. to keep the pressure on Hamas to honor its end of the bargain, according to NPR's Michele Kelemen. Israel also shares similar sentiments about Lebanon where Hezbollah remains a threat and Iran, where Israelis say the country is building up its ballistic missile stockpile."
President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met at Mar-a-Lago and said talks moved closer to a peace deal, though Russian attacks continued and key issues remained unresolved. One central unresolved issue is the Donbas region, where Russia seeks control and Zelenskyy advocates demilitarization. Trump is set to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to advance items on a 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza and potentially address Iran and its proxies. Israeli officials report no signs Hamas is ready to disarm, and concerns persist about Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iran's missile buildup. Charitable groups have scaled back amid federal cuts and funding chaos, straining poverty relief efforts.
