"People are struggling, and they need us to be laser-focused on solving some of these issues for them," she says. "And if we don't work on those issues, then we don't deserve to be voted back in 2028."
Ukraine's top diplomat in the U.S. Denys Sienik says he hopes the localized ceasefire brokered by first lady Melania Trump between Russia and Ukraine "will be carried out by the Russian side, because there is no question about us."
