European nations are working with Ukraine on a new proposal for a ceasefire in Russia's war along current battle lines, four European diplomats said, mainly incorporating ideas already under discussion while pressing to keep the U.

Trump wants Russia and Ukraine to freeze the war on the current battlelines, with Moscow holding a huge swathe of eastern Ukraine.

Russia's modified drones are piercing Ukraine's defences at greater rates than before, targeting energy infrastructure.

A contentious meeting between President Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine produced no obvious progress toward a cease-fire.

A contract to supply Ukraine with refurbished light armoured vehicles is officially dead, the defence minister told a House of Commons committee on Tuesday.

As temperatures drop in Ukraine, Russia has stepped up drone attacks on power facilities supplying millions of homes across the country.

The U.K. is prepared to deploy British troops to Ukraine to secure a future peace deal in the country, British Defense Secretary John Healey has said, ahead of a planned meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
