European, Ukrainian and US leaders gave positive comments after Berlin talks, shifting the focus to Moscow's response to proposals to end the war in Ukraine. Deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov said Moscow did not yet understand the discussions and awaits a debrief from US negotiators, while ruling out territorial concessions. US comments, including from President Donald Trump, signalled strong European support and increased pressure on Moscow to consider the plan, and limited the US ability to blame Europe or Ukraine if Moscow rejects it. Volodymyr Zelenskyy continues a Europe tour ahead of a European Council meeting on frozen Russian assets, and Finland hosts an Eastern Flank Summit in Helsinki.
