Russian media prominently covered the evolving diplomatic dynamics of the Ukraine conflict, beginning with reports of the US ceasing intelligence sharing with allies regarding negotiations. A significant development was repeated Ukrainian attacks on the Druzhba oil pipeline, halting supplies to Hungary and Slovakia. This prompted Hungary and Slovakia to appeal to the European Commission, while US President Trump reportedly expressed anger over these strikes. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov stated Russia's flexibility on Trump's proposals and Putin's openness to meeting Zelensky, but also reported Zelensky rejected Trump's peace offers. The day culminated with Trump announcing an "important decision" on Ukraine within two weeks, signaling a clearer path for negotiations, and reportedly believing Ukraine should accept Putin's terms. Putin, separately, discussed Russia's nuclear shield and hope for renewed US relations.
