Overview
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continues to criticize President Putin's response to a proposed U.S. ceasefire, asserting it only prolongs the conflict. In contrast, former President Donald Trump has optimistically urged Putin to avoid a 'horrible massacre' in Kursk. However, Trump faces backlash due to his nomination of Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Critics argue Oz's history of promoting unproven treatments and conflicts of interest jeopardizes health policies. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy warns of potential Russian obstructions to peace talks and calls on allies to pressure Moscow for genuine peace efforts.
