  • Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed skepticism toward a proposed 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine, calling it a potential 'pause' that benefits Ukrainian forces.
  • The U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff is in Moscow for discussions, with a closed-door meeting with Putin anticipated later today.
  • The Kremlin has outlined conditions for peace, including Ukraine's neutrality, territorial concessions, and a ban on foreign troops in Ukraine, while rejecting European peacekeeping forces.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has agreed to the ceasefire in principle but insists on security guarantees and continued international pressure on Russia.
  • Russian forces claim significant gains in Ukraine's Kursk region, complicating negotiations and potentially strengthening Moscow's bargaining position.
