In a surprising move, President Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for not reviewing a US peace proposal intended to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The remarks came after three days of negotiations, which Trump claims were hindered by Zelenskyy's reluctance.

Trump suggested that while Russian President Vladimir Putin seemed somewhat agreeable, Zelenskyy's unread stance is creating gridlock. Additionally, Kremlin sources expressed optimism over Trump's new national security policy, looking toward enhanced dialogue with Washington.

Meanwhile, Ukraine witnessed intensifying Russian missile and drone attacks, significantly impacting infrastructure, including vital power and water resources. The strategic escalation aims at debilitating the nation's energy systems, further complicating peace efforts.
