Today is a heavy day as Ukraine marks four years since the full-scale invasion began. While the country has shown incredible strength, the reality is getting harder. Experts now say it will cost nearly $600 billion just to rebuild what’s been destroyed. European leaders are in Kyiv today to show they still care, but there is a quiet, nervous energy about how much longer the world can keep this up as the fighting remains stuck in a stalemate.
Back in the U.S., President Trump is stepping up for his State of the Union address tonight, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. He’s been talking a lot about ending the war quickly, and even suggested he might push for a peace deal by this summer. Between his “America First” focus and his recent warnings about conflict with Iran, everyone is waiting to see if he will continue to send weapons to Ukraine or tell them it’s time to settle. It’s a night that could change the future of the war for good.
