Zelensky seeks $40bn a year for ‘resilience'
Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky has called on Western donors to commit $40 billion annually to prop up his country's budget, following a high-profile snub by US President Donald Trump at the G7 summit. Zelensky made the appeal Tuesday during the gathering in Kananaskis, Canada, where he failed to get an audience with Trump, who left early. Posting a photo on social media of himself speaking to six leaders, Zelensky demanded sustained donations. 'It's crucial to have $40 billion annually in budgetary support for Ukraine – to ensure our resilience and the ability of our country to carry on,' he said, urging the US to approve the aid. Trump 'does not apply strong enough pressure on Russia,' Zelensky claimed, despite Kiev purportedly defending Washington's global interests. He called on other G7 members to lobby the US leader, while advocating investment in Ukraine's arms production and new sanctions against Russia. The summit's results have been reported as a disappointment for Kiev and have cast doubt on the prospects of a Trump-Zelensky meeting at a NATO leaders summit scheduled for next Tuesday. 'It is a permanent hazard that Ukraine is a victim of events and Trump's short attention span,' a Ukrainian official told The Guardian. 'There had been all sorts of promises for this summit – including new US arms deliveries being offered.' G7 leaders did not issue a joint statement on Ukraine, reportedly due to Trump's refusal to endorse language critical of Russia. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's chair summary noted that participants supported Trump's efforts to broker a 'just and lasting peace in Ukraine' and backed Kiev's call for an unconditional ceasefire. Russian officials have dismissed the Ukrainian demand as a ploy to give Kiev's forces time to regroup. During recent peace talks in Istanbul, Moscow offered two options for a conditional truce: A withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from territories that have joined Russia, or a halt to Ukraine's military mobilization and Western arms deliveries. Kiev rejected both proposals.

Trump eyeing intervention in conflict against Iran
President Donald Trump is seriously considering getting the US directly involved in Israel's conflict with Iran as he meets with his national security team on Tuesday, multiple media outlets have reported. The president has lauded the Israeli bombing campaign against Iran's nuclear facilities but has so far held off on joining offensive operations, opting instead to use US military assets to help West Jerusalem shoot down Iranian missiles and drones. Ahead of a national security meeting in the White House Situation Room to discuss the escalating Middle East conflict, Trump was considering entering the US into the fray, Axios and CBS news wrote on Tuesday. 'Trump was seriously considering joining the war and launching a US strike against Iran's nuclear facilities, especially its underground uranium enrichment facility in Fordow,' Axios wrote, citing three anonymous officials. West Jerusalem believes the US will 'enter the war in the coming days,' the outlet said, citing Israeli officials. The decision will be discussed at Tuesday's meeting, but there is no full agreement among Trump's closes advisers, CBS News wrote, citing fire sources familiar with the matter. Fordow, a heavily fortified uranium enrichment plant built deep inside a mountain, has been hit with Israeli airstrikes, but there is no indication that it's underground section sustained significant damage, according to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director-General Rafael Grossi. The Jewish state lacks the bunker-buster bombs needed to fully destroy the entrenched facility, but US forces deployed in the region do, Axios wrote on Sunday. According to National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi, the Israeli campaign against Iran 'will not end without damaging the Fordow nuclear facility.' While it is unclear 'if the US will join,' Israel is in constant communication with Washington on the matter, he said in an interview on Tuesday. A few hours prior to Tuesday's security meeting, Trump delivered a chain of militant posts on Truth Social, claiming that the US now had unobstructed primacy in Iranian airspace, boasting that he could assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and demanding that Tehran capitulate.
