The day's Ukrainian media was dominated by President Zelensky's firm rejection of any "territorial exchange" with Russia, a direct response to proposals that surfaced on previous days. This unequivocal stance underscored Ukraine's commitment not to cede land to occupiers. Concurrently, a significant military development saw SBU drones strike a 'Shahed' storage terminal deep within Tatarstan, highlighting Ukraine's capacity for long-range operations. By afternoon, the diplomatic focus shifted as Ukraine and its European partners presented their own demands and peace plan to the US, setting "red lines" for any negotiations with Russia. This proactive move aimed to define the terms for potential talks with Putin, especially ahead of the anticipated Trump-Putin summit, where Ukraine sought to ensure its interests were centrally represented, with late reports even suggesting a possible invitation for Zelensky to Alaska.
