Ukraine and the U.S. have outlined an agreement in which they would jointly fund Ukraine’s future security and reconstruction using an investment fund powered by the country’s rare earth minerals, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday.

EU chief diplomat Kaja Kallas warns Russian President Vladimir Putin "doesn't want peace" ahead of the meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

European foreign ministers held an emergency meeting Monday where they discussed how to deal with President Trump’s push to end the three-year Ukraine war — but they seemingly still can’t agree on a new aid package for Kyiv.

The European Union is intensifying its support for Ukraine as U.S. President Donald Trump's discussions with Russia raise alarms in Kyiv and across Europe. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas emphasized the urgency,

European leaders called on the Ukrainian leader to "be strong, be brave, be fearless." The European Union's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, said it's "clear that the free world needs a new leader" after the unusually explosive meeting.

Russia’s latest attacks on Ukraine show that Russian President Vladimir Putin does not want peace. Europe must strengthen its military support for Ukraine, according to Kaja Kallas, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,

For the head of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, Russia is using gas as a weapon in its hybrid war. "Russia continues to use gas as a weapon and Moldova is once again the target of its hybrid war," the diplomat denounced on X.

Chief EU diplomat Kaja Kallas argued the EU is a "peace project," not an organization meant to "screw" the United States.

EU countries have collectively pledged more to Ukraine in terms of financial and military support than the U.S. since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion three years ago. That support will continue to flow in coming months, with some €30 billion in financial aid earmarked for 2025 via loans backed by Russia's frozen assets.
