Documents obtained by The Washington Post revealed that the Trump administration asked Kyiv in late January to take in third-country nationals deported by the U.S., all while Ukraine was fending off Russia’s attacks.

Pence told CNN that the Russian president "only understands power" and that the U.S. should maintain its support for Kyiv against Russian aggression. Ukraine has agreed to a U.S.-

Kherson region. On May 5, Russian forces launched ballistic missiles, drones, and artillery shells on 38 towns and villages in Ukraine's southern region of Kherson, damaging residential areas and killing one resident, as well as injuring seven others.
