The U.S. has set June as the target for Ukraine and Russia to agree on peace, Zelenskyy announced after UAE-hosted talks in Abu Dhabi that delivered a swap of 314 prisoners—the first in five months—and restarted U.S.-Russia military dialogues.

While no breakthroughs occurred on core issues like Donbas status or the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, upcoming Miami talks signal continued U.S. pressure, as Zelenskyy calls for strong security guarantees amid ongoing Russian strikes.

In July 2025, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified a 2020 House report detailing irregularities in the Obama administration's January 2017 assessment on Russian interference. It describes President Obama ordering CIA Director John Brennan to quickly produce the ICA after Trump's win, using hand-picked experts who sidelined objections to weak sources like the Steele dossier and intel showing Putin expected Clinton to prevail. Gabbard labeled it a treasonous plot, referring it to the Justice Department, while critics call it politicized revisionism that doesn't disprove the interference itself. No charges have followed as of February 2026, but the releases continue fueling heated debate.

Key Takeaway

Tulsi Gabbard released files last year exposing what analysts called a rushed Obama-era intelligence report on Russian election meddling. The move has reignited calls for accountability from Trump supporters.
