Dressed in army camouflage, Putin hailed recent gains and urged his troops on.
Putin supports a US-proposed ceasefire for the Ukraine war but wants to discuss "serious questions," potentially with President Trump. Zelenskyy calls Putin's response "manipulative." Trump mentioned discussing potential land concessions from Ukraine. Putin visited the Kursk region, urging troops to "fully liberate" it, while Ukraine hinted at troop withdrawals amid Russian advances. Captured Ukrainian fighters should be treated as terrorists and face Russian courts. Russia has retaken 1,100 square kilometers in the Kursk region.
