KYIV CITY MUNICIPALITY, KYIV CITY REGION, AUG 8 – Trump’s ultimatum for Putin to make peace progress expired with no breakthrough, despite plans for talks involving Putin, Trump, and Zelensky and threats of tougher sanctions.

- Looking ahead, fears in Europe remain over Ukraine’s sidelining as Viktor Orbán urged Europe to take diplomatic initiative and focus may shift to secondary sanctions.
