- Special envoy Steve Witkoff has led the talks in direct contact with Russian interlocutor Kirill Dmitriev, and he recently conferred with Ukrainian official Rustem Umerov.
- European representatives have begun receiving briefings on the draft, yet formal support from Kyiv or Europe remains unsettled.
- Army Secretary Dan Driscoll arrived in Kyiv with senior U.S. commanders to meet Ukrainian leaders about battlefield conditions and the nascent peace push.
- The White House declined comment as sources said talks quickened after a perceived opening from the Kremlin, though earlier efforts collapsed and a planned Trump–Putin summit was canceled before new sanctions.
