Russian media prominently featured reports throughout the day on a proposed US peace plan for Ukraine, allegedly involving territorial concessions and army reduction, building on similar reports from the previous day. Early reports focused on Trump's approval of a 28-point plan, with pro-Kremlin outlets emphasizing demands for territorial cessions and military cuts for Zelensky.
The FSB's claim of preventing an attempt to poison a Russian military officer in the DPR with a British-made substance also gained significant attention. By early afternoon, President Lukashenko's warning to Zelensky about being removed from power by the West was highlighted, alongside reports of the State Duma adopting tax amendments.
In the evening, Russian state media heavily reported the alleged capture of Kupyansk by Russian forces, with direct briefings to President Putin and the General Staff. Concurrently, Putin characterized the Ukrainian leadership as a "criminal grouping." Some outlets also mentioned Zelensky's alleged agreement to Trump's peace plan and ongoing US-Russia engagement.
