Overview
- Ukraine, which floated the plan on Saturday during Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visit to Azerbaijan, proposed trilateral peace talks in Baku if Russia agrees to diplomacy.
- The visit produced six Ukraine–Azerbaijan agreements, and Zelenskyy thanked Baku for 11 energy aid packages and for hosting more than 500 Ukrainian children from frontline regions.
- Geo News, citing Euronews, reported that Moscow wants any leaders' meeting to take place only in Russia, while Ukrainian officials say they will not meet in Russia or Belarus.
- US President Donald Trump said he is holding constructive talks with both Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin as the United States works on the Russia–Ukraine situation.
- Previous rounds in Türkiye and Switzerland did not yield a settlement, and Zelenskyy has warned the US–Israel–Iran conflict has pulled focus from efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
