Ukraine and its European allies are growing increasingly frustrated with the Trump administration’s handling of peace talks between the United States and Russia. Kyiv has expressed confusion over the administration’s multiple diplomatic tracks, which have left the country feeling sidelined from critical negotiations. The ongoing conflict, which has already claimed thousands of lives, continues to strain relations between Russia and the West. Meanwhile, the war has entered another grim chapter as the burial of Ukrainian soldier Ihor Brozhek, 29, at a cemetery on the outskirts of Odesa highlights the personal toll of the war.
