- On Sunday, Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukrainian President, said the US plan may include `Ukrainian perspectives` as delegations met in Geneva, and Andriy Yermak, Ukraine's top negotiator, met with national security advisers of the United Kingdom, France and Germany before his next meeting with the US delegation.
- With a Thursday deadline looming, Friedrich Merz, German politician, said he is sceptical a deal can be reached; Zelenskyy is preparing a Coalition of the Willing discussion early next week.
