US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, expressed confidence that Ukraine will reconsider their modifications. Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister, Yulia Svyrydenko, was expected to travel to the US for this signing ceremony. However, reports suggest that the US administration is demanding additional documents that Kyiv is hesitant to agree upon, potentially jeopardizing the agreement. Meanwhile, Russia's President Putin provided updates on remaining Ukrainian soldiers in his territory, and EU leaders are preparing contingency plans in light of US diplomatic strategies toward Russia.
