Donald Trump does not distinguish between reaching an agreement and achieving peace, Western media reports, noting the lack of understanding of crucial nuances. These nuances can determine the fate and lives of Ukrainians. Zelensky arrived in Brussels, meeting Ursula von der Leyen and Kaja Kallas. Ursula affirmed that the EU is ready to support Ukraine both financially and politically.
British media note that Putin is not preparing for peace: there is ongoing reservist mobilization and ramping up of weapons production. At the same time, Zelensky is involved in significant negotiations in Brussels to secure European support for Ukraine. Talks about a reparations loan from frozen Russian assets are underway, though Belgium's final approval is pending. Ursula von der Leyen highlighted that Ukraine is the "first line of defense" for Europe.
Russia expects Ukraine to concede territories, but Kyiv refuses such options. Zelensky emphasized there is no legal or moral right to abandon Ukrainian lands. Donald Trump and his representatives in the UN take a hard stance, calling for pressure on Ukraine, but dialogue with Europe provides support for Kyiv.
Despite meetings and discussions, Putin remains set on military escalation. Peace talks continue as Ukraine and its European partners are drafting new proposals in response to Russian demands.
The G7 supports the transfer of Russia’s frozen assets to Ukraine. Zelensky stresses that territorial concessions are legally prohibited and lack public support. Attention was also drawn to China's potential role as a future mediator in negotiations.
The day ends with an appeal to Ukrainians to subscribe to the channel and donate to support the army in essential tasks.
