Overview
- Geneva negotiations produced no agreement on territorial control or management of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, though a prisoner exchange was agreed and cease-fire monitoring mechanisms saw partial convergence.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected any deal that concedes Donbass territory, and both sides described the talks as difficult despite U.S. mediation led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
- President Trump inaugurated the Board of Peace for Gaza, pledging $10 billion from the United States as additional commitments exceeding $7 billion were announced by Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, the UAE, Morocco, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and Kuwait.
- Gen. Jasper Jeffers said five countries offered personnel for a Gaza stabilization force, with Indonesia providing up to 8,000 troops and serving as deputy commander alongside contributions from Morocco, Kazakhstan, Kosovo and Albania.
- Trump warned Iran it has 10–15 days to reach a meaningful nuclear deal as U.S. carrier groups and additional aircraft move into the region, while Washington extended select Russia sanctions for one year and European intelligence assessments suggest Moscow is seeking sanctions relief through the talks.
