- POLITICO.eu says Trump’s “big, beautiful” European security plan is not convincing Europe, setting the skeptical frame against the diplomatic movement reported elsewhere.
- Reuters, citing the Kremlin, reports that a Russian aide and a military intelligence chief will attend talks with the US and Ukraine; a top Ukrainian official also expresses “restrained optimism” about an eventual Putin-Zelenskyy meeting ahead of the trilateral.
