Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has thanked U.S. President Donald Trump for releasing a $250 million military assistance package that the White House had previously held for review.
More than two months after his capture by Kyiv and four days after he was flown to Moscow as part of a major Russian-Ukrainian prisoner exchange, the man who Dutch investigators say is a "suspect" in the shoot-down of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 is apparently returning to his home.
In an exclusive interview with RFE/RL, a Ukrainian intelligence officer provides the first details about the secret operation to capture Volodymyr Tsemakh, a pro-Russian separatist air-defense unit commander and a person of interest in the downing of MH17 who was traded to Russia.
The exchange of prisoners by Kyiv and Moscow marks a rare breakthrough that could pave the way for fresh negotiations over the five-year war between Ukrainian government forces and Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine.
To hand over to Russia a Ukrainian man who the Dutch-led MH17 investigation team has said is a "person of interest" in the downing, or not -- and risk angering Ukrainians who want to see dozens of their compatriots come home. This is the question Volodymyr Zelenskiy must answer.
Previous attempts to overhaul Ukraine's scandal-prone domestic security service, the SBU, have failed. With an historic mandate for reforms secured in recent elections, can Ukraine's politically inexperienced new president get the job done? Or is it a mission impossible?
We tracked down the enigmatic political consultant who hired a Washington, D.C. lobbying firm for Volodymyr Zelenskiy. Marcus Cohen told RFE/RL he paid nearly $70,000 out of his own pocket -- out of good will toward the new Ukrainian president.
A Ukrainian court has ruled in favor of a violent far-right organization labeled a "nationalist hate group" by the U.S. State Department that claimed a news outlet damaged its reputation when it labeled it as "neo-Nazi" in a tweet last year.
A senior U.S. official says Ukraine has requested to purchase more Javelin anti-tank missiles from the United States, a move that is likely to anger Moscow amid a four-year conflict that pits Russia-backed separatists against Ukraine's forces.
Documents show that Signal Group Consulting, LLC, received $69,371.80 from the presidential campaign of Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskiy for work that included burnishing his image and treating members of his team to a $1912.90 steak dinner in Washington
Most schools are out for the summer, but these newly elected Ukrainian lawmakers are cramming for the fall term. A Kyiv university is opening its doors to teach the neophyte party of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy how to legislate.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's party is on track to hold a historic majority in parliament. How much power will he have, and what will he do with it?
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s Servant Of The People party won big -- bigger than any party in a Ukrainian election since independence in 1991, partial results indicate.
At least five parties are slated to gain seats in Ukraine’s parliament following the July 21 pre-term elections.
Turnout in Ukraine’s snap parliamentary election appeared low as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy seeks a mandate to push through long-awaited reforms.
Parliamentary elections on July 21 are likely to put plenty of new faces in Ukraine's legislature. But some politicians say they're bracing for "revanche," warning that the return of figures from the Viktor Yanukovych era would risk a tilt toward Russia and a rollback of progress.
In a season of elections and political change in Ukraine, a cease-fire and troop pullback in the battle-scarred town of Stanytsya Luhanska show peace in the east is possible, even as fighting flares elsewhere along the rest of the 400-kilometer-long front line.
An obscure blogger claimed to have triangulated the general location from a photograph. On a hunch, a fellow journalist and I followed it -- and found the exact spot from which international investigators later concluded that Russia-backed forces fired the Buk missile that brought down MH17.
Ukrainian authorities say they are investigating a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) attack on a building that houses the Kyiv office of Ukrainian television Channel 112.
People who say imitation is the greatest form of flattery have probably never run for election in Ukraine. Candidates in the July 21 parliamentary vote are facing stiff competition not only from legitimate opponents, but from "clone candidates" with identical or nearly identical names.
