Overview

  • Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov said five hours of talks with U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner produced no compromise, though both sides called the exchange useful and signaled more work ahead.
  • No meeting between Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump is scheduled, with any encounter described as dependent on demonstrable progress.
  • Putin stated that Russia does not intend to fight Europe but said Moscow is ready to respond immediately if Europe initiates a war.
  • European and Ukrainian officials accused Moscow of feigning interest in negotiations as NATO ministers stepped up support, with Canada, Germany, Poland and the Netherlands announcing new U.S. weapons purchases under the PURL mechanism.
  • Hostilities continued overnight: a Russian drone strike killed two people in Ternivka, Ukraine reported 111 drones launched against it, and Russia claimed to have downed 102 Ukrainian drones as debris ignited a fire at an oil depot in Tambov.
