Diplomats and world leaders, preparing for next week’s NATO summit, are privately voicing significant concerns about U.S. President Joe Biden’s age, health, and his ability to secure victory in the 2024 presidential election.

However, they were disheartened by Biden’s recent debate performance and fear he may be too frail to defeat Trump and lead a global superpower, Politico reports. Over the past month, the outlet sp...

Donald Trump's controversial peace plan and reported deal with Russia to block Ukraine's accession to NATO are just "rhetoric" for the U.S. presidential election, and "reality will be very different," a senior Ukrainian lawmaker told the Kyiv Independent on July 3. Oleksandr Merezhko, the chair of the parliament's foreign affairs policy, said if Trump becomes the next U.S. president, his fear of being seen as a "failure" means he will be forced to change his stance on Russia's full-scale invasion. Trump's position is largely viewed as leaning towards the Kremlin's views and goals. The former p...

Donald Trump cannot be prosecuted for official acts conducted while president, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on July 1. The landmark ruling said he can still be prosecuted for private acts, but is the first time in U.S. history that any form of presidential immunity from prosecution has been recognized. The 6-3 ruling is a rejection of a lower court decision throwing out Trump's claim of immunity over his attempts to overturn the result of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Six conservative justices were in the majority and three liberal justices dissented. "We conclude that under our constit...

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA – Once a month in the basement of a minimally marked neighborhood building, an age-spanning group of Ukrainian Americans gather to discuss the typical meeting minutes of most nonprofits: dues, membership, and events. With nearly 800 current members – all of whom must be of Ukrainian descent – the Ukrainian American Citizens Association (UACA), or the Ukie Club, has been a hangout in Philadelphia’s Northern Liberties neighborhood for 115 years. Generations of Ukrainian Americans have grown up in the club's friendly-priced bar and adjacent soccer field. The club – and ...

Two top advisors to former U.S. President Donald Trump have proposed a plan that would cease military aid to Ukraine unless it agrees to hold peace negotiations with Russia, Reuters reported on June 25, citing the advisors, retired General Keith Kellogg and Fred Fleitz.

There is no point in peace talks because the only option is to reclaim occupied territory, Ukraine's Military Intelligence Chief Kyrylo Budanov said in an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer published June 23.
