Ukraine makes small gains ‘holding back the enemy' as Trump prepares for talks with Putin
Ukraine retook two villages in Sumy from Russia. US president Donald Trump will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for talks. European leaders are concerned that Putin and Trump will force unacceptable compromises. Ukraine has retaken two villages in its eastern region of Sumy, Kyiv's military said, adding to recent small territorial gains along the border with Russia ahead of peace talks at a summit of the US and Russian leaders set for Friday. US President Donald Trump said on Monday that Kyiv and Moscow will both have to cede land to end the war in Ukraine and this week's talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin will show whether the Kremlin leader is willing to make a deal. Ukraine's forces have liberated the settlements of Stepne and Novokostiantynivka along the frontline in Sumy, the General Staff said in a Tuesday evening report. 'It's tough. But we are holding back the enemy,' Ukraine's top commander, Oleksandr Syrskyi, wrote on Facebook, following a meeting on Tuesday with President Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukraine's top brass. 'In the Sumy direction, we are conducting active operations and have some success advancing forward, liberating Ukrainian land.' Monday's gains follow Sunday's news that Kyiv's military had retaken the village of Bezsalivka. AFP Russian air defence forces shot down 25 Ukrainian drones overnight over the Rostov region and Stavropol Krai, Russia's TASS state news agency reported on Tuesday, citing the Russian defence ministry. Reuters could not independently verify the reports of gains in the Sumy region. The small gains come as Russian forces have been pushing westward for months along sections of the 1 000km frontline, capturing new villages nearly on a daily basis, mainly in the Donetsk region. Russia, which launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, mounted a new offensive this year in Sumy, following Putin's order to carve out a 'buffer zone' there and threatening the regional capital. Ukraine's authoritative Deep State online map project shows that Russian forces control about 200km 2 of Sumy, and a total of about 114 000km 2 in Ukraine. AFP reported that Trump on Monday described his upcoming summit with Vladimir Putin as a 'feel-out meeting' to gauge his ideas for ending the war in Ukraine, as European leaders rushed to ensure respect for Kyiv's interests. Fearing privately that Putin will team up with Trump to force unacceptable compromises, European leaders plan to speak separately Wednesday with both Zelensky and Trump. The US president has spent the first months of his second term in office trying to broker peace in Ukraine - after boasting he could end the conflict in 24 hours - but multiple rounds of talks, phone calls and diplomatic visits have failed to yield a breakthrough. Trump, usually fond of boasting of his deal-making skills, played down possibilities of a breakthrough in Alaska but said he expected 'constructive conversations' with Putin. 'This is really a feel-out meeting a little bit,' Trump told reporters at the White House. 'We're going to see what he has in mind and if it's a fair deal, I'll reveal it to the European Union leaders and to NATO leaders and also to President Zelensky,' Trump said. I may say - lots of luck, keep fighting. Or I may say, we can make a deal. Donald Trump Zelensky has ruled out ceding territory seized by force. Trump - who publicly berated Zelensky at a White House meeting in February - said he was a 'little bothered' by Zelensky's stance and insisted land swaps would need to take place. 'There'll be some swapping, there'll be some changes in land,' said Trump. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has invited the French, British and other European leaders and the EU and NATO chiefs to virtual talks on Wednesday.

DNC to help lead nationwide protests against Republican redistricting plans
Dozens of liberal groups unveiled plans Tuesday to hold around 50 events across 20 states to protest Republican redistricting efforts in Texas backed by President Donald Trump. The demonstrations scheduled for Saturday — branded as "Fight the Trump Takeover" — are being organized by more than three dozen groups, including the Democratic National Committee, according to plans shared first with NBC News. "Trump knows the only way he can hold the majority after his budget betrayal is by changing the rules in the middle of the game to avoid accountability for ripping health care and food away from millions of Americans," said DNC Chair Ken Martin in a statement, referring to Trump's sweeping domestic policy bill that he signed into law last month. The main rally will take place at the Texas state Capitol in Austin, according to Texas For All, one of the lead organizers. Drucilla Tigner, executive director of the group, said the protests will focus on "the future of our democracy." "Though this fight started in Texas, it doesn't end here," Tigner said in a statement. "This isn't just about redistricting or one state's politics. It's about the future of our democracy." Other organizing groups are the Texas AFL-CIO, MoveOn, Indivisible, the Human Rights Campaign PAC and Planned Parenthood, according to the coalition's webpage. The announcement comes as Democratic state legislators from Texas remain outside of the state in an effort to deny Republicans a necessary quorum to move forward with redistricting plans that could ultimately help Republicans pick up five seats in the U.S. House, where the GOP will be defending a narrow majority in next year's midterm elections. It's unclear how long the standoff will continue. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, has said that he'll keep calling special sessions once the current session expires. "This could literally last years, because in Texas, I'm authorized to call a special session every 30 days," Abbott said on Fox News on Sunday. "It lasts 30 days, and as soon as this one is over, I'm going to call another one, then another one, then another one, then another one." Abbott also said that if the Democratic legislators return to Texas, "they will be arrested and taken to the Capitol." Several Democratic governors, meanwhile, have vowed to pursue redistricting efforts their states to offset potential GOP congressional gains if Texas moves forward. California Gov. Gavin Newsom sent a letter to President Donald Trump on Monday, urging him to ask Abbott to abandon redistricting efforts, or he would be "forced" to work to redraw California's map. "You are playing with fire, risking the destabilization of our democracy, while knowing that California can neutralize any gains you hope to make," Newsom wrote.
