Overview

• Russia’s Sergey Lavrov said no summit is planned until an agenda is agreed, as Moscow presses preconditions including territorial concessions that Kyiv rejects.
• Trump warned he will decide within about two weeks whether to impose “massive” sanctions or tariffs on Russia if there is no movement toward talks.
• Russian strikes hit western Ukraine in one of the year’s largest barrages, damaging a U.S.-owned electronics plant near the Hungarian border and injuring workers, according to Ukrainian officials.
• Zelensky said security guarantees could be ready in the coming days as Ukrainian, U.S. and European teams draft the framework, while Russia says it will not accept NATO troops or guarantees devised without its involvement.
• EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warned that pushing Ukraine to trade land for peace risks a Kremlin “trap,” and Zelensky urged Global South leaders to press Moscow to engage.
