Dressed in army camouflage, Putin made a surprise visit to the frontline in the Kursk region to encourage his soldiers.
Putin supports a US-proposed 30-day ceasefire for the Ukraine war but has "serious questions" and wants to discuss it, possibly with Trump. Zelenskyy calls Putin's response "manipulative," while a Kremlin aide initially dismissed the proposal. US envoy Witkoff delivered the ceasefire plan in Moscow. Trump expressed potential disappointment if Russia rejects the plan, hinting at territorial negotiations with Ukraine. Putin visited the Kursk region, claiming imminent "liberation" as Ukraine possibly withdraws troops.
