President Trump says there will be “severe consequences” if Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn’t end the war in Ukraine. He held a virtual meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and other European leaders today before his Friday summit with Putin.

In the same meeting, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, he told the group that Putin “is bluffing” ahead of the planned meeting with Trump.

Ukraine lost around 14,000 soldiers and civilians during this period. But in February 2022, Putin launched his full-scale invasion. Russian troops quickly reached the outskirts of Kyiv and seized huge swathes of the south, including big chunks of two more oblasts, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.
