The Kremlin has announced a pause in negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. Spokesman Peskov stated that communication channels remain open but Russia does not expect quick results and blamed Europeans for hindering peace efforts.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump in the US expressed impatience with the Ukrainian conflict, suggesting that sanctions could be imposed jointly with Europe against India, China, and Russia, but made no clear statements regarding NATO or Poland. He urged Europe to take more decisive action.
Germany has reduced its planned financial aid to Ukraine by €10 billion - less will be allocated for defense than previously promised, which, according to German deputies, is due to political decision-making, not financial difficulties.
Denmark has announced a new aid package of €300 million and will expand its support for Ukraine under a Danish initiative and rocket fuel production, which drew criticism from the Kremlin.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine has a plan, calling on NATO and partners to provide missiles to strike Russian rocket production facilities, stressing the need for outside support for effective defense.
Discussions continue around sanctions, real cessation of cooperation with Russia, and the role of NATO and Europe in this process. Ukrainians are also encouraged to donate for the purchase of new drones for defense.
