Zelensky: If Russia is ready for a ceasefire, it must stop massive strikes on Ukraine.

Also, we reviewed Trump’s proposal in London, adjusted some minor details, and sent it back for approval.

0/

Zelensky: Trump’s team proposed a strategy for a ceasefire during London talks.

Ukraine, European countries, and the U.S. reviewed it, adjusted certain points, and created a document that's now awaiting Trump’s approval.

1/

Zelensky: Russia dislikes Ukraine’s presence in Africa and opposes normal humanitarian and economic relations between Ukraine and African nations.

Russia seeks exclusive influence not only in Africa but globally.

2/

Zelensky: Russia kidnapped thousands of Ukrainian children. Today, I handed President Ramaphosa a list of 400 names.

We seek South Africa's assistance in returning them home.

3/

Zelensky: If Russia says it's ready for a ceasefire, it must stop massive strikes on Ukraine. That's Ukrainians who have been under constant Russian attacks.

4/

Zelensky: Ukraine faces continuous Russian missile attacks.

The latest strike involved over 200 air targets, including ballistic missiles and drones, causing deaths and injuries in Kyiv and other cities.

5/

Ramaphosa: South Africa discussed expanding ties with Ukraine in agriculture, trade, education, infrastructure, and energy.

Both sides acknowledge Ukraine’s grain initiative with a hub in Mombasa, Kenya.

6/

Ramaphosa: South Africa is deeply involved in peace talks for Ukraine, including the African Peace Initiative.

It aims at an unconditional ceasefire, prisoner exchanges, and the return of children taken to Russia.

The Economist: US is pushing an Ukraine peace plan. But no one — not Ukraine, not Europe, not even Russia — has accepted it.

What’s in the deal, who’s resisting, and what happens if talks fail? 1/

The plan:

- Russia keeps most seized land de facto
- The US would recognize Crimea as Russian de jure
- Ukraine barred from NATO
- Sanctions on Russia lifted without conditions 2/

This initiative comes from the United States. 2/

In exchange, Ukraine would receive a ceasefire along current lines with no security guarantees. Sanctions would be lifted without mechanisms for enforcement. 3/

The Times: The UK is likely to drop plans to send thousands of ground troops to Ukraine [as expected!]

Officials fear Russia would escalate further into Europe if a ceasefire collapses [not a credible deterrence]. 0/

Also, the force of 30,000 troops are seen as "symbolic" and inadequate, drawing NATO into direct war [well, you can of course make it bigger; but the point stands, the UK troops would not be a credible stop for Russia]. 1/

Britain will offer air cover and logistics instead of ground forces. RAF jets would patrol Ukrainian skies, drones would monitor movements.

The UK troops, if deployed at all, would be limited to non-combat roles near Lviv [Western Ukraine], far from any frontline. 2/

Bild: Ukraine is preparing for the worst scenario — the end of US support.

Trump’s team presented a proposal that Washington frames as a now or never moment.

Translation: Ukraine intends to reject any proposal that sells Ukraine out and is willing to fight without U.S. 1/

Proposal recognizes Crimea as Russian territory and accept Russia's control over large parts of eastern and southern Ukraine in exchange for freezing the war along current front lines. 2/

Zelensky rejected the terms, saying it violates constitution. JD Vance said it's time for a yes or the US withdraws from negotiations. 3/

Lavrov praises Trump, blames Biden, says Russia is ready for a deal, but [it must include surrender]; lies that they don’t target civilians.

Lavrov: Trump is probably the only leader on Earth who recognized the need to address the root causes of Russia-Ukraine conflict. 1/

Lavrov: We are ready to reach a deal [with Ukraine], but there are still some specific points, elements which need to be finetuned. 2/

Lavrov: It was a huge mistake to pull Ukraine into NATO, and this was a mistake by Biden administration, and he [Trump] wants to rectify this. 3/

Reuters describes the differences between Witkoff’s and Ukraine-Europe’s peace plans:

de sure recognition of territory, removal of sanctions, security guarantees, and size of Ukraine's military [the real red line!].

The Ukraine-Europe’s proposals is also much more specific 0/

The US proposal includes de jure recognition of Russia’s annexation of Crimea and de facto recognition of Russian control in the occupied territories of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian-European response rejects recognition and defers all territorial discussions until a ceasefire. 1/

Witkoff’s proposal offers the removal of sanctions imposed since 2014 as part of the settlement.

Ukraine and the EU propose a gradual easing after a sustainable peace is achieved, with mechanisms to reimpose sanctions if Russia violates the terms. 2/

Rutte: Attack on Kyiv proves Russian weakness; 3% NATO spending is a must, not because of Trump;

President Trump leadership broke the deadlock; any deal on Ukraine must be durable; acknowledging Crimea occupation is not legally recognizing it - like the Baltics in the 1950s. 0/

Rutte: What happened [Russian missile attack of Kyiv] shows Russia’s weakness - they’re not winning.

You don’t fire missiles at residential areas if you're in control. Innocent people, even children, are dying. It’s heartbreaking. I saw it in Kyiv and Odessa. 1/

Rutte on 3% GDP policy: EU and Canada know they must do it - not just because President Trump says it’s fair to match U.S. spending, but also due to the growing Russian threat.

They must step up and move beyond 3% if NATO is to meet its goals. 2/
