Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia over two years ago, the conflict continues to escalate with recent developments indicating a push for peace negotiations. Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated the Kremlin's peace plan, which includes demands for Ukrainian troop withdrawal from specific regions and abandoning NATO aspirations.
While Russian forces have made progress in Donetsk and Luhansk, they have not fully occupied all targeted regions, such as Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. In response, the Biden administration has shown unwavering support for Ukraine by announcing a new $400 million military aid package.
