Rhetoric between Russia and Europe has ramped up after talks between Donald Trump’s envoy and Vladimir Putin failed to reach an agreement

Pentagon officials told NATO allies in Europe that they must assume responsibility for the majority of the alliance's nonnuclear defense capabilities from the U.S. by 2027, according to a Reuters report that cited five sources familiar with the discussion.

After being blindsided by President Donald Trump’s 28-point plan last month, some Europeans have expressed extreme disquiet at being apparently sidelined in talks.

Putin also claimed that Zelensky’s European allies have pushed for demands that are “absolutely unacceptable."

In a world exclusive interview with India Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin outlines his strict conditions for ending the war in Ukraine. Speaking to Foreign Affairs Editor Geeta Mohan, Putin asserts that Russia will only lay down arms if Kiev’s troops withdraw from territories claimed by Russia.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was expected to miss Wednesday's meeting, which will unfold during high-stakes negotiations in Moscow and in Europe about Ukraine’s future.
