"According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), Zelenskyy told reporters: [Trump] proposed Stay where we stay and begin conversation'. I think that was a good compromise, but I'm not sure that Putin will support it, and I said it to the [US] president. It comes as plans to hold a summit between Trump and Putin in Budapest have been put on hold as it was reported that Ukraine and its European allies had rallied in pushing for a ceasefire without territorial concessions from Kyiv."
"Russia's defence ministry said on Wednesday that its forces had captured the village of Pavlivka in Ukraine's southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, as well as Ivanivka village in neighbouring Dnipropetrovsk region, reports Reuters. The ministry also said, in a statement on Telegram, that it had struck Ukrainian energy infrastructure in what it said was a response to Ukrainian attacks on Russian civilian targets. Ukrainian authorities earlier said that six people had been killed in Russian strikes overnight (see 8.30am BST)."
Trump proposed that Ukraine and Russia stop at the current frontlines as a compromise. Zelenskyy expressed doubt that Putin would accept the proposal. Plans for a Trump–Putin summit in Budapest were reported put on hold, while Russia said preparations for a presidential meeting were continuing. Russia's defence ministry reported capture of Pavlivka in Zaporizhzhia and Ivanivka in Dnipropetrovsk and claimed strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in response to alleged Ukrainian attacks. Ukrainian authorities reported six people killed in overnight Russian strikes. A Russian drone strike hit a Kharkiv kindergarten, killing one person, injuring seven, evacuating children, and leaving many showing acute stress reactions.
