The day began with Trump rejecting Iran's response to the US peace proposal, a story that dominated morning headlines across state-aligned and independent outlets. By mid-morning, the focus shifted to EU foreign ministers discussing potential direct talks with Russia, while the UK expanded sanctions against Russia by 85 entities. In the afternoon, reports emerged that several European countries refused to supply Ukraine with Patriot missiles, and the Kremlin confirmed that Trump's invitation to visit Russia remains open. The evening saw coverage of Germany and Ukraine jointly developing deep strike capabilities, and new UK sanctions described as the 'toughest' yet. The ceasefire violations continued, with Ukraine accused of over 23,000 breaches. The day's editorial priority was clearly the Iran-US standoff, with the EU-Russia talks and Ukraine aid issues as secondary themes.
