What was Trump's response to Russia's missile and drone attacks on Ukraine?
Trump issues a rebuke to Putin after Russia strikes Ukraine with missile and drone attacks.
It's horrible those missiles landed. What's even worse is there are today people that were alive yesterday that are not alive today because this war continues and the president wants to stop it. How will the attacks affect peace negotiations?
I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Friday, April 25th, and this is Morning Wire. A group of religious parents sue their school district over their children's forced exposure to LGBT content.
A lot of parents are upset by this. Their religious rights are being overstepped. And the White House is warning parents and teens about the rise in child exploitation. And they've enlisted the help of country music star John Rich. It can save your kid's life. It's crucial. I would say it's the most important information I've ever put out on social media.

How have Russia's attacks impacted the ceasefire negotiations with Ukraine?
Russia attacked Ukraine's capital with a series of missiles and drones on Thursday. The surprise attack derailed US-led ceasefire negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv.
Here to talk about the latest in the war between Russia and Ukraine and President Trump's efforts to end it is Daily Wire reporter Tim Pearson. Tim, so we had this barrage of attacks yesterday. Where does that leave peace negotiations?
Stalled. Yesterday's attack on Kiev left at least a dozen dead and dozens more wounded and also killed what momentum there was toward a ceasefire. Up until yesterday, the White House had sounded optimistic about a deal. President Trump still believes there will be a deal, but there was an edge to his comments yesterday.
We're in the midst of talking peace, and missiles were fired, and I was not happy with it. If the bombs keep falling, will you consider additional sanctions for Russia, or what will you do if President Putin... I'd rather answer that question in a week. I want to see if we can have a deal. No reason to answer it now, but I won't be happy, let me put it that way.
Ukrainian President Zelensky has been willing to work with the U.S. on peace terms, more willing since his disastrous White House meeting in February. Since then, Zelensky has agreed to sign a minerals deal with the U.S. And last month, he said Ukraine would agree to a full ceasefire to set up peace negotiations. But Moscow never bought in. All they could agree to was a 30-day pause on attacks against energy infrastructure.
Right. Now, over the weekend, the United States rolled out a proposed peace deal. What are the terms of that deal?
Right. The proposal was constructed by the U.S. and Europe, and it recognized Russian control of Crimea and accepted Russia's control of land in Ukraine's east. It would ban Ukraine from NATO membership and start the U.S. and Russia on a path of economic normalization, with all sanctions lifted from Russia. The proposal didn't set limits on Ukraine's military, something Moscow had wanted, and it included the minerals deal with the U.S., Notably, it did not include any security guarantees from either the U.S. or Europe for Ukraine. Now, this was just the starting point. Obviously, the terms would change with negotiation.
Yeah, about that. What do we know about where the two sides are in regard to a potential deal?
What are the terms and challenges of the proposed U.S.-led peace deal for Ukraine?
Well, we haven't seen much concrete action from Russia. Ukraine has said it wants to talk, but it will have some major problems with the peace proposal as it is currently written. Zelensky has already said that giving any occupied territory over to the Russians would be a red line. Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro traveled to Kyiv this week to sit down with Zelensky.
