An adviser to Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed a plan proposed by Donald Trump 's former Ukraine envoy, calling it a 'failed plan'. Keith Kellogg, a retired lieutenant general, suggested that both Ukraine and Russia would have to make concessions to end the war, including Kyiv potentially giving up land occupied by Russia. Zelenskyy's communications adviser, Dmytro Lytvyn, countered that if Kellogg's plan only involved a ceasefire and elections, it wouldn't be effective against Putin.
Meanwhile, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer asserted that Trump's threat of more sanctions had 'rattled' Putin and raised concerns about the Russian economy. Starmer highlighted the importance of inflicting economic harm on Russia, believing it would hasten peace by ending the war sooner. He emphasized this point during meetings with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and stressed the need to ensure Ukraine's strong position in the coming months to achieve a favorable peace deal.Starmer's remarks came amidst reports of continued violence in Ukraine. The Ukrainian air force reported the deaths of four civilians and injuries to eight others in a Russian guided aerial bomb attack on a former school building sheltering civilians in the town of Sudzha. Zelenskyy condemned the attack, calling Russia 'devoid of civility,' while Russia blamed Ukraine for the incident, claiming it was a 'war crime' and opening a criminal case against a Ukrainian commander. Ukraine also reported the arrest of two suspects for the killing of an army draft officer in the central Poltava region. Additionally, an explosion near a military recruitment center in Pavlograd wounded one person, following a similar incident in Rivne that killed one person.
