U.S. President Donald Trump has interrupted his talks in Washington with European leaders to call Russian President Vladimir Putin, an EU diplomat told Reuters on Monday.

The European Union’s foreign policy chief says the possibility of Ukraine ceding land to Russia as part of a peace deal to end their three-year war is “a trap” set by Russian President Vladimir Putin

A top European diplomat has claimed Vladimir Putin got 'everything he wanted' as hopes faded last night of a peace deal. The Russian President appears not to have made any concessions despite talks.

The protections that the US and Europe would be able to provide to Ukraine are similar to NATO's collective defense mandate.

NATO allies and Ukraine are working together to make sure security guarantees for Ukraine are at such a robust level that Russia will never try to attack again, NATO chief Mark Rutte said on Friday, adding that Europe and the United States would be involved in providing them.
