A Russian general was assassinated by car bomb in Moscow while Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff met with Putin for Ukraine peace talks. The assassination - described in dramatic footage across media outlets - threatened to derail diplomatic efforts following Trump's "Vladimir, STOP!" directive from the previous day.

Morning headlines captured Moscow claiming readiness for peace while continuing attacks on Ukraine. By midday, Kyiv Mayor Klitschko suggested Ukraine might need to cede territory - contradicting Zelensky, who later reaffirmed Ukraine's claim to Crimea after Trump declared it "will stay with Russia."

The Kremlin described the Putin-Witkoff meeting as "constructive," focusing on potential direct Russia-Ukraine talks. Meanwhile, Pakistan-India tensions escalated with exchange of fire over Kashmir.

Domestic stories included Chancellor Reeves stating EU trade relations were more important than US ones, Farage promising a Ministry for Deportations, and M&S suffering a cyber attack.
