00:00U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Ukraine to fight back with a more offensive stance,
00:05a shift from his earlier calls for peace.
00:08This comes after Russia launched its biggest drone and missile attack on Ukraine in over a month.
00:15Trump criticized former President Joe Biden's approach to the conflict,
00:18claiming Biden would not let Ukraine fight back.
00:21Following his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska,
00:25Trump proposed a trilateral meeting with Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky soon,
00:31setting a two-week time frame to assess peace talks.
00:35Zelensky said he is open to meeting Putin,
00:38but only after allies agree on security guarantees to deter future attacks,
00:43accusing Russia of avoiding real negotiations and refusing to end the war.
00:48Moscow, meanwhile, claims Ukraine is not serious about long-term peace,
00:52rejecting Kiev's demands for guarantees and as incompatible with Russia's terms.
00:59Separately, Putin is also scheduled to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping
01:03at the Shanghai Cooperation Summit in China.
