Moscow is preparing to declare "victory" in Ukraine on February 24, marking three years since its invasion, according to Ukrainian intelligence. The Kremlin aims to frame the announcement as a triumph over both Ukraine and NATO, with Russian propaganda portraying the war as a broader conflict with the alliance. The report comes amid U.S.-Russia negotiations on the war and heightened tensions between Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump, who has been critical of Zelenskyy, recently called him a "dictator" and urged a swift peace deal.
