Trump Admits No Progress in Ukraine War Amid Party Pressure

President Donald Trump recently admitted he has made no progress in ending the war in Ukraine during a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, marking a rare acknowledgment of his administration's impotence on the issue. The conversation, their sixth since Trump's return to office, revealed Putin's firm stance on not relinquishing Russian objectives in Ukraine, despite a willingness to pursue negotiations. Meanwhile, the U.S. has announced a pause in weapon deliveries to Ukraine due to depleted stockpiles, raising concerns about Kyiv's ability to defend against ongoing Russian advances. Trump is also expected to speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to discuss the crisis and future arms support, as diplomatic efforts continue amid criticism of Trump's handling of Ukraine policy. Critics, including political commentators and former diplomats, warn that U.S. support for Ukraine is weakening under Trump's administration, potentially jeopardizing global peace and security. The situation underscores deep divisions and challenges within U.S. foreign policy as the conflict persists.
