Russian channels report that U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff arrived at Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport for talks with Putin.

Trump calls Russia’s offer to “stop” the war and “not gobble up all of Ukraine” a “huge concession.” Guess Putin’s feeling extra generous for peace talks today.

Typical day for a Russian evacuation group, struggling to sort out corpses after Putin’s meat grinders near Robotyne, Zaporizhzhia. Russian undertakers now beg their boys to carry notes in bags just to identify the remains.

It is reported that the son of CIA deputy director Julianne Gallina Gloss, 21-year-old Michael Gloss died in Ukraine as a Russian soldier. He signed a contract with Russia’s MoD. His father, Iraq vet Larry Gloss, develops secure software for U.S. and NATO forces

Meanwhile, the peak of Russian military transport logistics is already showcased for all to see - an electric cart, based on a two-wheeled hoverboard for delivering supplies and boys in black bags, ready to carry out combat missions.

Ukraine revised Trump’s peace plan. Peace must rest on international law, not capitulation. Security guarantees are essential. Ukraine, not Trump, should lead talks. Crimea can’t stay under Russian control to protect neighbors. Russia mustn’t limit Ukraine’s military or defense industry. — Telegraph.

Trump told TIME: Crimea will stay Russian, and Zelenskyy understands this. Ukraine won’t join NATO, as talks about it sparked the war. A deal is near, Putin’s open to peace, and Zelenskyy can seal it. Ending the war in 24 hours was a joke, but negotiations with Putin are close to resolving the conflict.

Per Russian media, Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff arrived at the Kremlin, where he’s being hosted by Putin.

Reuters: Trump’s "final plan" for Ukraine — ceasefire, European security guarantees, no NATO, Crimea recognized as Russian, de-facto occupation of Donbas and south. Ukraine regains Kharkiv, ZNPP, Dnipro access. Sanctions on Russia lifted, economic ties resume. Wittkoff meets Putin today to hash out details.

Russian field ammo depot spectacularly self-demilitarizes with brilliant explosions. Russian troops can only watch and dodge their own ammo’s blasts. Likely Kharkiv direction.

In Ryazan Oblast, Russia, they’re whining that local Z-patriot "trophy enthusiasts" looted "SVO heroes’" graves, swiping their battle flags. Only pathetic "Aquafresh" rags were left, wanted by nobody.

I think Russia and Ukraine are moving forward, but the situation is very fragile, - Trump

NATO chief Rutte showered Trump with praise, saying the U.S. president broke the deadlock. "The U.S. and Trump are taking the lead in negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. Only they can do it," Rutte stated.

Trump yesterday: "I have my own deadline."

Trump today: "No deadline, I just want to get it done as fast as possible."

Harsh Russian-style casualty evacuation. Getting to a medpoint is a wild ride for Russians, even without Ukrainian help. Wounded soldiers literally fly out of evacuation vehicles.

Well, Steve Witkoff's motorcade has slipped away from the Kremlin after a three-hour talkfest. Kirill Dmitriev, Putin's special rep, claims there's progress from the Putin-Witkoff meeting. Guess we'll see.
