Following President Donald Trump’s claim that Ukraine is “losing” the war against Russia’s ongoing invasion and that Russia now has the “upper hand”, multiple officials told CNN there are no new US or European assessments suggesting there have been significant changes on the battlefield and they don’t see any indications Moscow is likely to win the conflict quickly.

In the interview, President Trump criticized European allies, boasted about the US economy, and said Ukraine should hold elections amid war with Russia.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy is preparing to send the US revised proposals to end Russia's war, as Ukraine moves to reject plans that would see it give up territory to Moscow.

The president announced a $12 billion aid package for farmers who have suffered under his own controversial policies.
