Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has claimed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has allegedly offered him a €500 million bribe from Russian assets in exchange for supporting Ukraine’s NATO membership.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the possibility of Donald Trump initiating an effort to end Russia’s war, but warned against pushing for a ceasefire agreement that could easily unravel.

In an interview with French newspaper Le Parisien, Ukraine's president said they do not have the strength to retake the territories occupied by Russia. He said there is one option remaining.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Ukraine has confirmation that Russia is disguising North Korean military personnel as Russian citizens and burning the faces of dead soldiers to prevent identification.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that evidence has emerged suggesting that Russia has begun using North Korean troops in assaults against Ukrainian forces in Russia's Kursk Oblast, where Ukrainian troops are conducting operations.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed on Monday that Russia was trying to conceal the losses suffered by North Koreans fighting alongside Russian forces.

Security guarantees solely from European countries, without US involvement, will not be “sufficient” to ensure the long-term protection of Ukraine from any further Russian aggression, the Ukrainian president has warned.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has admitted that Ukraine cannot overpower Russia militarily to beat it back from the territories it has annexed.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he is open to the potential deployment of Western troops in Ukraine to guarantee the country's security as part of a broad effort to end the almost three-year war with Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Nato chief Mark Rutte and key European leaders in Brussels on Wednesday to strategise over Russia’s war ahead of Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
