The "coalition of the willing" meeting in Kyiv dominated coverage, with PM Tusk joining Macron, Merz and Starmer alongside Zelensky. The delegation proposed a 30-day conditional ceasefire beginning Monday, warning of "massive sanctions" if Russia violates it. The group notably called Donald Trump from Kyiv, discussing the proposal.
The Kremlin initially dismissed the possibility of isolating Russia through sanctions. By late evening, Putin unexpectedly announced Russia's readiness for "negotiations without preconditions" with Ukraine.
In domestic politics, presidential candidate Nawrocki addressed allegations of state services interference in his campaign, telling supporters in Białystok he was "under constant pressure." The campaign became more polarized following Friday's debate, with analysts assessing Mentzen's diminished prospects for making the second round.
International developments included Trump's successful mediation between India and Pakistan, though reports of Kashmir explosions emerged despite the announced ceasefire.
