A Putin ally has called for more detail in Trump's peace plan for Ukraine. Follow Newsweek's live coverage of the war.

A push by the Trump administration to end Russia's war on Ukraine appears to make headway, with Kyiv saying Zelenskyy could visit D.C. within days to finalize a deal.

The first draft of Trump’s 28-point peace plan called for an investment scheme for Ukraine’s reconstruction controlled by the U.S. but financed by $100 billion in frozen Russian assets matched by another $100 billion from the European Union — with 50% of profits sent back to Washington.

U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll held talks with Russian officials in Abu Dhabi on Monday, a U.S. official told Reuters, the latest effort by President Donald Trump's administration to broker a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine.

The proposed 28-point peace deal followed secret negotiations by envoys of Russia and US President Donald Trump.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said “it would be good to know for sure who is the author of the plan,” as tensions over elements that mirror long-standing Russian demands.

Crude oil and refined product futures prices were falling sharply in early trading Tuesday, as reported progress in Trump administration efforts to broker a peace deal in Ukraine was pressuring contracts.

President Trump said the envoy, Steve Witkoff, was using standard negotiating methods, after he appeared to coach a Russian official in a leaked call.
