Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered U.S. Cyber Command to pause cyber and information operations against Russia as Trump seeks to bring Putin to the negotiating table to end war in Ukraine.

Trump's talks with the Russian president may endanger U.S. security interests if he "gives away his cards," Michael McFaul said.

President Trump's decision to suspend all military aid to Ukraine is the latest in a string of moves that could have been plucked from Vladimir Putin's personal wishlist. Why it matters: Trump is also considering sanctions relief for Moscow and hinting at regime change in Kyiv.
