- Last month, the United States cancelled President Donald Trump's planned Budapest summit with Vladimir Putin after Moscow sent a memo reiterating hardline demands on Ukraine.

- President Donald Trump imposed new sanctions on Russia's two largest oil producers and criticized Vladimir Putin for testing nuclear weapons rather than pursuing peace, while sources said Trump was `not impressed with their position`.
- Kyiv rejected Moscow's precondition demanding control of remaining Donetsk region territory, complicating efforts to end the three-and-a-half-year war in Ukraine.
