A new investigation by the New York Times discloses the extent of the US support for the proxy war in Ukraine. One European official said Washington is “part of the kill chain now.”

As Tel Aviv works to implement President Donald Trump’s plan to cleanse the Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, the Israeli Mossad is approaching other countries to take in large numbers of Gazans. Trump has said that he wants to send the Palestinians to refugee cities in another country.

The Kremlin says that Russian and US officials are meeting to discuss a “new agreement” to implement the limited Black Sea ceasefire. Moscow has said some sanctions relief is key to the success of the deal.

An Israeli soldier speaking with CBS News said the IDF has committed war crimes in Gaza. Among other offenses, the soldiers said Palestinians were regularly deployed as human shields.

In the hours following an announcement that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a limited truce, Moscow and Kiev made accusations of ceasefire violations.

After holding separate talks with Russian and Ukrainian delegations, the US announced that both sides had agreed to allow commercial shipping through the Black Sea, mirroring a similar arrangement established earlier in the war.

American officials met with a Russian delegation for talks on ending the war in Ukraine. Moscow says it hopes to restore a deal that allows commercial ships to cross the war zone in the Black Sea.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the White House for allegedly succumbing to Kremlin propaganda. The Ukrainian leader said some in the Donald Trump administration were incorrectly convinced that Kiev did not want to reach a deal with Moscow.
