KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia launched a rare drone and missile attack on western Ukraine overnight, officials said Thursday, striking targets including an American-owned electronics plant and injecting further uncertainty into the U.S.-led efforts to end the three-year-old war.

On Aug. 18, 2025, Trump met European, EU and NATO leaders at the White House to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine and other European leaders have learned a thing or two about negotiating, Trump-style. So has Vladimir Putin.

Plans for security guarantees for Ukraine appear to be triggering unease in Moscow, which repeated objections to any role for forces from NATO countries.
