US pressures Ukraine to accept a peace plan risking territory loss amid ongoing conflict with Russia.


The United States is pressuring Ukraine to accept a peace plan that would see the country surrender territory and military equipment as part of a negotiated settlement with Russia. The proposal has sparked concern within Kyiv over the potential loss of sovereignty and long-term security.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is in Turkey discussing this plan, which may also involve cuts to Ukraine’s armed forces. His visit comes as Washington intensifies efforts under the Trump administration to secure an end to the conflict, despite fears the terms could undermine Ukraine’s national interests.

As Russian forces continue their aggressive campaign, holding roughly 19% of Ukrainian territory, Zelenskiy is attempting to revive peace talks before winter further complicates the frontline. The stakes remain high as the geopolitical landscape shifts.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.


The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.

Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.

Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
