Senator JD Vance, nominated as Donald Trump's vice-presidential running mate, opposes continued US funding for Ukraine, advocating for peace negotiations instead. Vance's criticisms of the Biden administration's handling of the Ukraine war and his belief that the conflict benefits American business have fueled tensions with Ukrainian President Zelensky. With Trump promising to end the war swiftly, their potential election victory could significantly alter US-Ukraine relations.

Ukraine’s top commander, Aleksandr Syrsky, is reportedly ready to lay down arms and capitulate to Russia, according to a claim made by a lawmaker from President Vladimir Zelensky’s party. The claim was made by MP Mariana Bezuglaya from the ‘Servant of the People’ party, who is also the deputy chair of the National Security, Defense, and Intelligence Committee.
Syrsky, who became Ukraine’s highest-ranking general in early February, succeeded Valery Zaluzhny, the former general who oversaw last year’s unsuccessful attempts to repel Russian forces. Bezuglaya accused Syrsky and Zaluzhny of secretly colluding to prevent a Ukrainian victory, stating that the two generals belong to a “generals’ mafia” that is more interested in protecting their own privileges than in defeating Russia.
