What happened

Well supportedReported by 14 independent outlets

Donald Trump called for Ukraine to stop striking Russian oil refineries, a proposal the Kremlin welcomed. Separately, India conveyed a three-part truce proposal to Ukrainian officials, aiming to stop attacks on energy facilities and ensure the flow of grain and energy through Black Sea ports. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia and the United States fully agree with Donald Trump’s view that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not interested in a peaceful settlement.

Why it matters
