Ukrainian Member of Parliament Kira Rudik joins Meet the Press NOW as President Trump tries to arrange a summit between himself, Russian President Putin and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. NBC News Correspondents Monica Alba and Andrea Mitchell report on Russia’s reaction to the prospect of a security deal for Ukraine.

As negotiations over the war carry on, President Vladimir Putin is pushing hard with tactics that have evolved over three and a half years.

Russian troops currently control about 20% of Ukrainian territory, but the Ukrainian constitution forbids giving up territory or trading land.

Major questions remain over what both sides might accept after Trump held successive talks with Putin and Zelensky.

Ukrainian officials say more than 19,000 children have been unlawfully deported to Russia or occupied areas, with reports suggesting the number could be far higher.

Russian state media footage shows the M113 armored personnel carrier driving into combat in the Zaporizhzhia region.

The second Oval Office meeting in six months between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy went off smoothly, in sharp contrast to their disastrous encounter in February.

Stephen A. Smith argued that Democratic presidents Biden, Obama and Clinton are responsible for the Russia-Ukraine war breaking out, not Trump, during his podcast on Monday.
