The Post last week went to the largest of Ukraine's five camps for Russian POWs hundreds of miles from the front lines to speak with prisoners about their treatment at the facility, their views on the bloody conflict and how they ended up fighting in it.

'Zelensky will have to figure out how to fix this on his own,' a senior US official told The Post. 'We can't fix it for him.'

The Ukrainian Armed Forces’ reliance on cheaper, more compact drones has altered the look of warfare for good, operators and experts tell The Post.

The Ukrainian president said that it is “a very good signal” that President Trump is meeting with him before Russian President Vladimir Putin -- as the leader prepares for a trip to Washington on Friday to sign a deal on mineral rights.

Ukraine and the United States are in the final stages of negotiations on a minerals deal, the Ukrainian deputy prime minister said on Monday on X, though her statement was deleted several minutes after it was posted.

President Trump has been demanding such a pact, but Ukraine has been pushing for new security guarantees or fresh military funding in exchange for its minerals.

The dismal new record was set soon after news broke that the US and Ukraine were close to reaching a mineral rights deal, much to Putin's chagrin, after US envoy to the Ukraine War Gen. Keith Kellogg left Kyiv on Friday.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he will step down if the country is granted membership into NATO, or if it would result in a peace deal.

The good-cop-bad-cop approach of President Trump and his special envoy, retired Gen. Keith Kellogg, helped close the gap between Washington and Kyiv.

Ukrainian intelligence operators took a page out of Mossad’s playbook, planting explosive devices in Russian virtual reality goggles.

The US president may have inadvertently encouraged Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin to attempt a second drive at overthrowing Ukraine's government.

Kellogg arrived in Ukraine's capital city less than a week before the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion on Feb. 24.

In central Kyiv, drone interceptions by the Ukrainian Armed Forces lit up the night sky near the city's iconic golden-domed St. Michael's Monastery.

Top Russian and American officials met in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday to begin talks on improving ties and negotiating an end to the war in Ukraine.

'They have to be at the table,' Sen. Thom Tillis told reporters in Ukraine's capital.

Violence remains the rule of law in Gaza after 15 months of war.

Even Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's government and his allies in Washington have become increasingly convinced that the cease-fire is no longer tenable, many observers believe.

The defense secretary addressed the first meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group since President Trump's inauguration.

The Israeli military has already begun mobilizing around the border.

Ukraine is home to roughly 5% of the world's mineral resources, with rich deposits of titanium, uranium, iron, manganese and lithium -- as well as oil and gas.
