And, on that note, we will be closing the blog for today.
US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are on their way to Dublin to meet with Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy (18:04) after their talks with Russia’s Vladimir Putin in Moscow earlier today (14:16, 14:41, 17:28, 17:49).
During the meeting, the leaders discussed Russia’s key demands when it comes to the peace process and agreed to hold another round of talks on Ukraine war, reportedly adding Europeans to the table (16:59).
But during the meeting Putin struck a notably tough tone repeating many of his maximalist demands that are unlikely to be acceptable to Ukraine or Europe (15:24).
Separately, Ukraine’s Zelenskyy warned against “strange” attempts agree on “a new security framework between Europe and Russia,” and urged European leaders to “pay attention” to what is being proposed (13:04).
He also revealed that Starshield systems, which play a critical role for Ukraine’s army, appeared to be throttled again, disrupting its ability to defend itself from Russian attacks (10:08, 13:07).
