Ukrainian media focused significantly on the US stance towards a peace agreement, with reports in the morning indicating Washington seeks a "peace agreement" prior to offering security guarantees to Ukraine, a continuation of themes from previous days regarding Trump's peace plan. By early afternoon, the narrative shifted dramatically with Russian President Putin's statements. He refused to sign any peace agreement with the current Ukrainian government and set conditions for a ceasefire, demanding Ukraine withdraw from territories Moscow claims. This development dominated headlines, with some outlets also reporting on an anticipated meeting between Ukrainian and US negotiating teams later in the week and President Zelenskyy preparing for significant talks next week.
