Overview

• U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg said an agreement is near, with unresolved questions centered on Donbas and the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
• Moscow signaled it rejected parts of the U.S. text, as Putin aide Yuri Ushakov said the documents require serious and radical changes.
• Multiple days of U.S.–Ukraine talks in Miami ended without a clear breakthrough, followed by a call Zelensky described as very substantial.
• President Donald Trump said he was a little disappointed that Zelensky had not yet read the latest peace proposal.
• Zelensky is set to meet in London with Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, and Friedrich Merz, with further consultations in Brussels expected with EU and NATO leaders.
