What is the current status of the Ukraine-Russia peace talks?
The Trump administration is demanding that Ukraine accept a peace deal favoring the Kremlin. Ukraine says a ceasefire must be in place first.
With so little progress on the ceasefires, there's still a chance for peace.
I'm Michelle Martin, that's A. Martinez, and this is Up First from NPR News. President Trump says it's not possible for all of the people he wants to deport to get a trial. Top officials in his administration have said that due process is only for U.S. citizens. What rights do non-citizens have in this process?

Ukraine is marking a day of mourning today. At least 12 people died in Russian drone and missile strikes on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv. President Trump scolded Russian President Vladimir Putin on social media for the attacks. Trump says he wants peace quickly. He says Ukraine must accept concessions and that Russia is making a pretty big concession by not occupying all of Ukraine.
How are Ukrainians reacting to recent Russian attacks and U.S. political positions?
NPR's Ukraine correspondent, Joanna Kakisis, joins us now from Kyiv. Joanna, tell us more about this latest Russian attack on the capital.
Well, A, there is a lot of anger and grief here, as to be expected. We spoke with 40-year-old Maria Rumyantseva, who scrambled to evacuate her elderly mother before a Russian missile destroyed their home. She said Russian attacks on Ukraine seem to have escalated after Trump started accommodating Russia in peace talks. And she had this question for President Trump.
I'm a mother of an invalid on an invalid visa. How do I get my mother, a disabled person in a wheelchair, down from the second floor to the first floor to the bomb shelter alone in 8 minutes?
We also spoke to Olena Kurkovska, who ran out of her home in her bathrobe just before the walls caved in. She believes Trump is sacrificing Ukraine for a quick deal.
Trump is simply selling Ukraine and giving it away. And Ukraine cannot give up its territories. Even though these are occupied, this is our territory. Ukrainians live here.
Now, most Ukrainians refuse to recognize Ukrainian land occupied by Russia as part of Russia, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has refused to accept demands by the Trump administration to do so.
Therefore, this attack, Trump blames Zelensky for prolonging the war, and he was largely seen as accommodating Russian demands. Has this attack changed that at all?
Well, no, I mean, Trump did chide Putin on social media for the attack, but he also said that Russia is already making a big concession by not occupying all of Ukraine. And statements like this obviously make Ukrainians very nervous, especially coming from the leader of the U.S., which was once Ukraine's strongest single ally. Now, Zelensky says his country wants peace.
