The Kremlin has shut down the idea of a trilateral peace summit between Trump, Putin, and Zelensky, claiming there is "absolutely no point" without pre-signed deals.

Instead of peace, Russian forces may be preparing new offensives targeting northern Ukraine, including Kyiv and Chernihiv, while demanding Ukraine surrender the remaining 20% of Donbas.
