- Zelenskyy convened urgent virtual talks with leaders and officials from about 30 supportive states, including Germany, the U.K. and France, to coordinate positions and seek fairer terms.
- Trump pressed for swift acceptance and territorial concessions, signaled reluctance to attend a proposed weekend meeting without concrete answers, and said he had “pretty strong” exchanges with European leaders.
- Russia said it has sent Washington additional proposals on collective security guarantees, even as its forces press around Pokrovsk and Ukraine targets Moscow with large drone strikes that halted flights at all four city airports for hours.
- The U.S. Congress approved a defense bill reinforcing European troop levels and $400 million for Ukraine, adding constraints on presidential drawdowns during the White House peace push.
