Senior UN officials warned the Security Council that Ukraine’s civilian crisis is worsening as large-scale Russian strikes continue to devastate infrastructure and communities. Member states clashed sharply over responsibility, with European nations condemning Moscow, China urging negotiations without sanctions, and Russia denying civilian targeting. The divide underscored the gap between diplomatic rhetoric and the urgent humanitarian reality on the ground.

In the Oval Office, President Trump met with Ukraine’s Zelenskyy and European leaders to confront Russia’s demands. With a map of Ukraine spread out before them, the allies weighed fragile paths toward peace. Europe voiced unity, Ukraine stood firm, and Putin’s terms—seen by many as capitulation—remained the obstacle.

UN Security Council members expressed hope for a ceasefire in Ukraine despite deadly Russian strikes on Kyiv that killed 28 civilians. Amid rising casualties and mine contamination, delegates urged Moscow to accept Ukraine’s 30-day truce offer and stop targeting civilians. Russia denies striking non-military targets, while Ukraine accuses Moscow of deliberate terror tactics.
