Trump to meet Putin in Budapest in ‘huge blow’ to Europe & North Korean troops direct Russian strikes into Ukraine

Day 1,332.

Today, as President Zelensky meets Donald Trump at the White House, we unpack Vladimir Putin’s emergency – if predictable – intervention: an unscheduled call with the US President that may have derailed Kyiv’s hopes of securing Tomahawk missiles. Then, in a special cultural dispatch, we dive into the world of Ukrainian classical music.
