As President Donald Trump's administration aims to help broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, a European Union official asserted that Russia must face accountability for its "crimes," according to a report.

"We cannot give up on the rights of the victims of Russian aggression and Russian crimes," McGrath asserted, according to the outlet. "Millions of lives have been taken or destroyed, and people forcibly removed, and we have ample evidence." 

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed gratitude toward the Trump administration.

"I am grateful to the United States, to President Trump’s team, and to the President personally for the time that is being invested so intensively in defining the steps to end the war," he noted in part of a post on X.
