Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv is working with its partners in the "Coalition of the Willing" to draw up a peace plan, including a ceasefire, to end the Russian war against Ukraine in a similar vein to U.S. President Donald Trump's 20-point framework for Gaza.

Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine overnight into Saturday have killed at least four people and wounded 20, according to officials

As Trump's plan to meet Putin is called off, Zelenskyy says another bloody night in Ukraine shows Russia isn't feeling "enough pressure for dragging out the war."

Donald Trump has said he would like China's help to deal with Russia as he seeks to bring an end to the war in Ukraine. "I'd like China to help us out with Russia," the US president said on board Air Force One, as he flew to Asia for a whirlwind tour, where he will meet China's Xi Jinping in South Korea.

In addition to the economic warfare, Ukraine’s long-range strikes on refineries had by last month destroyed or damaged about 20 percent of Russia’s refining capacity, according to one analyst. That has caused severe gasoline shortages in several regions, as Ukraine tries to bring the pain of war to ordinary Russians.

As Zelenskyy lauds Europe and the U.S. for ramping up economic pressure on Putin over the war in Ukraine, Moscow dismisses them as a counterproductive "act of war."

European leaders vowed to work in coordination to ratchet up the pressure on Russia as the so-called “coalition of the willing” met in London to discuss strategies to end the war in Ukraine.

When they are not fighting, they write poetry, letters home or words of praise to their supreme commander,” said one of the directors at Moscow's Museum of Victory.

President Donald Trump, during his long flight to Asia, said he hopes to work out a trade deal with China and assistance in getting Russia to end war with Ukraine.

Gun and drone street battles are taking place in the key city of Pokrovsk infiltrated by around 200 Russian soldiers, say Ukrainian defence chiefs. Ukraine is rushing to strengthen its positions in the strategic eastern city in the Donetsk province of the Donbas region.
