Republican lawmakers are backing President Donald Trump’s insistence that Ukraine hold elections, even if they don’t share his belief that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a "dictator."

"I think you have to give them some space… There is a negotiation going on," said Sen. Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D.

Trump on Tuesday night said Ukraine "never should have started" the war, and doubled down by calling Zelenskyy a "dictator" because Ukraine hasn’t held elections since Russia invaded the country in 2022.

Some key pro-life activists are raising ethical questions about President Donald Trump's executive order to expand access to pricey in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures, arguing the technology "is not pro-life" because some embryos "are destroyed" in the process.

President Donald Trump this week falsely blamed Ukraine for starting the war that has cost tens of thousands of Ukrainian lives, causing outrage and alarm in a country that has spent nearly three years fighting back a much larger Russian military.
