US Senators Graham and Blumenthal warn that Putin is delaying peace talks to prepare for a new Ukraine offensive. They advocate for a bipartisan sanctions bill targeting countries like China and India that support Russia's economy.

Russia is reportedly massing approximately 50,000 troops, including significant numbers of North Korean soldiers, near Ukraine’s Sumy region for a potential summer offensive aimed at creating a “buffer zone.

By making harsh, uncompromising demands in peace talks with Ukraine while continuing to pummel it with waves of missiles and drones, Russian President Vladimir Putin is sending a clear message: He will only accept a settlement on his terms and will keep fighting until they’re met.
