Vladimir Putin said his forces now control all of Luhansk and more than 80% of Donetsk and that he will liberate Donbas by force unless Kyiv relinquishes it.Talks involving Steve Witkoff, Rustem Umerov and Jared Kushner produced no agreement after Washington’s peace proposals were judged unacceptable and a leaked U.S. draft package alarmed Kyiv and European partners for conceding core NATO demands.Keith Kellogg said casualties on both sides exceed two million and that about 19.2% of Ukraine is under occupying forces’ control including Crimea, and he added that the Zaporizhzhia plant and Donbas’ future must be resolved first while Volodymyr Zelensky warned any cession of Donetsk without a referendum would be illegal and block negotiations.
