Summary
Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv has handed fresh war-ending proposals to US negotiators, reviving a diplomatic track that has been stalled since February.
US-mediated talks froze after the Iran war broke out, and Zelensky said Washington now needs to bolster Ukraine’s air defenses and pressure Moscow toward ending the conflict.
Ukraine says Russia is increasing ballistic-missile production to exploit Kyiv’s shortage of Patriot interceptors and is preparing more troop recruitment for a new push along the 1,250-kilometer front.
Zelensky also pointed to Russia’s highest court barring anti-war party Yabloko from next month’s parliamentary election as another sign Vladimir Putin intends to prolong the invasion rather than negotiate.
