By Tom Balmforth, Andreas Rinke, John Irish KYIV/BERLIN/PARIS (Reuters) -For Ukraine and its allies, who spent months trying to win Donald Trump over to their cause in the war started by Russia, it is back to square one.

Kyiv’s European allies have slapped new sanctions on Moscow, a day after a phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin failed to produce a breakthrough on ending the 3-year-old war in Ukraine.

Former U.S. Vice President Dan Quayle tells Sara Eisen at the CNBC CEO Council Summit that he does not understand why Donald Trump is not exerting more pressure on Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine.

Pope Leo XIV may have offered to host Russia-Ukraine peace talks at the Vatican, but neither the pope nor senior Vatican officials have spoken publicly about the possibility, leaving prospects for such talks uncertain.

Russia fired a total of 273 exploding drones and decoys, Ukraine’s air force said. The attacks targeted the country’s Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions.
