06:36⇢Vitkoff's Controversial Ceasefire Proposal
⌨The newspapers report on a Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia that killed three people and injured twelve (Pravda, Ukrinform UA). Coverage focuses on peace negotiation developments, with US special envoy Vitkoff discussing a 30-day ceasefire that could lead to complete cessation of hostilities (Liga.net). However, controversy arose after Vitkoff reportedly referenced fake "referendums" and suggested recognizing occupied Ukrainian territories as Russian could be a "key issue" (Novoe Vremya, UNIAN). Defense Express editor Katkov warns that Ukraine cannot realistically rely solely on European air defense systems without US support (LB.ua), while ISW analysis claims the Kremlin is trying to disrupt peace talks by creating discord between Ukraine and the US (TSN).
