Russia’s foreign minister has cast fresh doubt on peace talks, questioning “the legitimacy” of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to sign any future agreements after targetting a US factory in a large bombardment on Ukraine.

Former National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien joins 'America Reports' to discuss Budapest possibly serving as a balanced venue for U.S.-Russia talks and President Donald Trump’s diplomacy at the Alaska summit.

Ukraine's president told reporters in Kyiv on Wednesday that he wanted to "have an understanding" of the protections his allies are willing to offer within seven to 10 days.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk criticized the idea of holding trilateral talks between the leaders of Ukraine, the United States and the Russian Federation to end the war in Budapest, recalling that it was there that a memorandum on guarantees of Ukraine's territorial integrity and security from the United States and the Russian Federation was signed in 1994.

Maybe I’m superstitious, but this time I would try to find another place,” says Polish PM as he recalls 1994 memorandum.

Plus, a new survey of doctors finds that they're encountering more patients who are influenced by medical misinformation or disinformation.

The push for a bilateral meeting comes after the US president met Putin in Alaska last week, and welcomed seven European leaders and Zelensky to the White House on Monday. Trump admitted the conflict was "a tough one" to solve and conceded it was possible the Russian president was not interested in ending hostilities.
