- The leaders expect to transmit a roughly 20‑point revised draft to the United States within a day, refining terms on security commitments and other core issues.
- Miami negotiations between U.S. and Ukrainian teams ended without a breakthrough, with unresolved questions on territorial arrangements in Donbas and control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
- President Trump publicly voiced disappointment that Zelensky had not read the U.S. plan, while the Kremlin welcomed the administration’s new national security strategy as broadly aligned with its view.
