Vladimir Putin has reportedly rejected key parts of a U.S.-backed peace proposal for Ukraine, specifically objecting to requirements for Russian withdrawal from occupied territories. This development follows recent diplomatic activity, including meetings between Ukrainian representatives and U.S. envoys in Geneva and Florida. Meanwhile, a senior Kremlin official, Dmitry Medvedev, warned that if the EU uses frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine, Moscow could view it as a justification for war. The warning comes amid intensified fighting, with recent Russian strikes hitting Ukrainian cities and Ukrainian drone attacks targeting Russian infrastructure. Despite the setbacks, a U.S. official stated that discussions are ongoing and new ideas are being explored to bridge remaining issues.
