🇺🇸 BREAKING NEWS: Trump urges Ukraine to reach a deal with Russia “fast” ahead of Geneva peace talks

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that he wants Ukraine to strike a peace agreement with Russia “fast” ahead of Washington-brokered talks in Geneva scheduled for Tuesday, as both Kyiv and Moscow prepare for another round of negotiations. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that “Ukraine better come to the table, fast” while en route to Washington, emphasizing his desire to end the conflict launched by Russia’s 2022 invasion. Previous U.S.-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi did not yield a breakthrough because the sides remain far apart, especially on territorial issues, with Moscow insisting on major territorial concessions that Kyiv has rejected. The U.S. delegation will include Trump’s top envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, while Russia’s team will be led by former culture minister Vladimir Medinsky and Ukraine’s delegation will be headed by Rustem Umerov.

🚨Iran’s Khamenei:

“It seems that the President of the United States constantly repeats that our army is 'the strongest army in the world.’

The strongest army in the world may sometimes receive a blow such that it cannot rise from its place. They continuously say that we have sent an aircraft carrier toward Iran…

Well, an aircraft carrier is a dangerous device, but more dangerous than it is the weapon capable of sinking this carrier to the bottom of the sea.”

This diplomatic push comes amid escalating regional tensions fueled by a U.S. military buildup, including warships and fighter jets near Iran. Meanwhile, Supreme Leader Khamenei has criticized attempts to predetermine the talks' outcomes as domestic protests continue to rattle the country.
