00:00A new signal from inside Trump world about where the president may be headed on Ukraine.

00:07And now we're hearing directly from Trump himself, as Russia launches another wave of deadly attacks overnight.

00:14At a major security forum in Doha, Qatar over the weekend, Donald Trump Jr. took aim at corruption in Ukraine,

00:20questioned President Zelensky's leadership, and suggested the fight is now far from a top priority for most Americans.

00:27He floated the possibility that his father, who has already pushed Kyiv and Moscow toward a peace deal,

00:34could even walk away if Ukraine doesn't make moves toward peace.

00:37But is your hunch that President Trump is going to walk away?

00:43I think he may. What's good about my father and what's unique about my father is you don't know what he's going to do.

00:49The fact that he's not predictable, he's not following the playbook of every clown who's, again, been a bureaucrat for decades.

00:56You don't know. And so that forces everyone to actually deal in an intellectually honest capacity,

01:03which has not happened in far too long.

01:05And now we're hearing from the president himself, saying last night at the Kennedy Center Honors Red Carpet

01:10that he's not pleased with President Zelensky when it comes to the peace plan.

01:14And I have to say that I'm a little bit disappointed that President Zelensky hasn't yet read the proposal.

01:21That was as of a few hours ago. His people love it.

01:24But Russia is, I believe, fine with it.

01:28But I'm not sure that Zelensky's fine with it.

01:31His people love it.

01:33But he hasn't read it.

01:34Those comments land just as the Kremlin spokesman is praising the Trump administration's new national security strategy,

01:42saying it aligns with Moscow's desire for dialogue and could improve relations.

01:47All of this unfolding as Russian strikes intensify.

01:51Overnight, Ukraine faced one of its largest attacks in months.

01:54More than 240 drones and missiles launched across the country,

01:58hitting energy infrastructure and killing at least two people.

02:01Zelensky says Russia is targeting peaceful cities.

02:05He is again urging the United States and allies for more air defense.

02:10He also said late last night that he is expecting, quote,

02:13detailed information from Ukrainian diplomats on peace talks held in Moscow.
