U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that both Ukraine and Russia would have to cede land to each other to end the war and that his talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin would be aimed at taking the temperature on a possible deal.

The upcoming talks between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin comes after Trump recently enforced a deadline for Russia to end its war with Ukraine.

Ukrainian forces are increasing the intensity of long-range drone strikes deep into Russia ahead of Friday's planned meeting between Presidents Trump and Putin.
