The Trump administration made clear it will abandon peace attempts for Ukraine if Russia fails to adhere to any terms, but the president did not say whether there would be consequences.

Special envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to offer Moscow a “carrot” of reduced sanction and unfrozen assets, a senior Trump adviser told The Post.

"During the night of April 19, 2025 (from 9:00 p.m. Kyiv time on April 18), the Russian occupiers carried out a strike on Ukraine with ground- and air-launched missiles and attack UAVs," the air force said in a statement.
