Russia is expected to  reject the new 19-point cease-fire deal drafted by the US and Ukraine, suggesting the war will last at least through Christmas, sources told The Post.

Russia rained missiles and drones on Kyiv overnight, killing six people, as frantic diplomatic efforts over a draft US plan to end the war intensified.

Zelenskyy has reportedly accepted a proposed peace deal with Russia, a U.S. official says, though minor details remain and Moscow’s response is unclear.

The Donald Trump administration’s Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll is reported to have held secret discussions with Russian officials in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday, where he presented a revised proposal aimed at ending Russia’s 33-month invasion of Ukraine.

Zelensky's remarks come after a weekend of deliberation between Ukraine, U.S. officials over a U.S.-drafted peace plan.

Igor Sechin, one of the most influential men in Russia's energy sector, said on Tuesday that sanctions imposed by the United States, European powers and their allies on Russia and China will trigger an economic crisis in the West.

President Donald Trump's proposal to end Russia's war on Ukraine would require Ukraine to give up land and stay out of NATO.
