  • Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reported nearly 3,000 alleged Russian violations, including drone strikes and artillery fire, during the ceasefire period.
  • Zelenskyy proposed a 30-day suspension of attacks on civilian infrastructure, a move supported by the U.S. State Department but not yet addressed by Russia.
  • Both sides accuse each other of breaching the ceasefire, but independent verification of these claims remains unavailable.
  • U.S. President Trump expressed optimism for a peace agreement this week, while warning that U.S. mediation efforts may end if progress stalls.
