During the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Kyrgyzstan, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia remains open to negotiations for peace but refused to negotiate with what he termed ‘terrorists.’ He ordered preparations for large-scale strikes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure and confirmed ongoing offensives toward Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.

Following these developments, reports emerged of discussions between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. Simultaneously, Russian forces conducted massive high-precision strikes against military facilities in Kyiv and the surrounding region as they reportedly approached Ukraine’s military industry center.
