KYIV, Ukraine - The United States has set a June deadline for Ukraine and Russia to reach a peace agreement, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Zelenskyy revealed the ultimatum, adding that the Trump administration would likely increase pressure on both sides if the deadline is missed.
The announcement comes as Russian strikes on energy infrastructure have forced nuclear power plants to reduce output. The details of the proposed agreement and the specific consequences of failing to meet the June deadline were not immediately available.
Meanwhile, in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, American skier Breezy Johnson secured the United States' first medal of the 2026 Winter Olympics, winning gold in the women's downhill race.

"It was definitely heavier than I expected," Johnson said, describing the gold medal she won. Johnson, 30, took an aggressive line down the Cortina downhill course, finishing in 1 minute, 36.10 seconds.
