Today, 200 Ukrainian families received the most-awaited message their loved ones are coming home, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a social media post. And this is always good news for all of us, for the entire country: the return of our people to their homeland, added Zelenskyy, thanking the United States for its support in making this exchange possible.

We expect this meeting to create an opportunity to move talks to the leaders' level. Trump supports this sequence of steps. A direct leaders' summit is the only way to resolve all the complex and sensitive issues and finally end the war.

In an explosive post on X and an interview with Piers Morgan, Zelensky tore into Moscow for wasting time on long-winded historical lectures instead of ending the war. "I don't need historical sh*t to end this war and move to diplomacy. Because it's just a delay tactic," Zelensky fumed. The talks, involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States, broke off with no breakthrough on sensitive territorial disputes.

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said they "agreed that this was a critical moment - for Ukraine, its people and for shared security across the Euro-Atlantic region". A White House official confirmed the call took place on Wednesday but did not give details. It comes the day after Trump called European leaders "weak", suggesting the US could scale back support for Ukraine. In the wide-ranging Politico interview published on Tuesday, Trump also claimed Ukraine was "using war" to avoid holding elections, prompting President Volodymyr Zelensky to reply he was "ready" for them.
