Russian President Vladimir Putin has called up 160,000 men aged 18-30 for military service, the highest number since 2011. The conscripts will not be sent to fight in Ukraine's "special military operation" immediately, but there have been reports of conscripts being killed in border regions and fighting in Ukraine. Despite US attempts at a ceasefire, Russia has not agreed to one, and the violence continues with Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities.

US President Donald Trump said he is "very angry" and "pissed off" with Russian President Vladimir Putin over ceasefire negotiations in Ukraine. Trump criticized Putin for attacking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s credibility and threatened to impose a 50% tariff on countries buying Russian oil if a ceasefire is not agreed upon. Trump also accused Zelensky of trying to back out of a deal to share Ukraine's rare minerals with the US and warned of "big, big problems" if that were the case.

Russia has ordered an additional 160,000 servicemen to be conscripted, the largest increase since the war began in Ukraine. This brings the total number of draft sizes to 150,000 in 2024 and 134,500 in 2022. The move comes as Putin orders a boost in Russia's army size to 1.5 million active servicemen, despite efforts for a ceasefire in the three-year-old conflict.

Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested placing Ukraine under UN control to elect a more "competent" government, sparking criticism from Ukraine and the US. The idea was seen as an attempt by Putin to delay progress towards a peace deal. Putin's proposal came as the US seeks to broker a ceasefire in the war between Ukraine and Russia, now in its fourth year.
