Ukrainian media focused on significant shifts in the diplomatic landscape orchestrated by US President Donald Trump. He announced he would meet Putin in Russia instead of Alaska, and that President Zelensky would not participate in their direct talks. Trump pledged to facilitate the return of some occupied territories, but stated the final agreement rests with Kyiv and Moscow. Concurrently, a critical internal Ukrainian discussion resurfaced concerning potential peace terms and territorial concessions. Reports indicated President Zelensky was now "reportedly open" to territorial concessions, a notable departure from previous rejections and a central theme from prior days about "territory exchange." Ongoing military actions, such as increased combat funding and SBU drone strikes on Russian defense industries, continued.
