Zelensky said Vladimir Putin had not broken Ukraine and promised to seek a just peace accepted by Ukrainians. The Kremlin signalled the war would continue until its aims are met. European officials, including senior EU figures, reaffirmed financial and military support. Talks led by the United States remain stuck over territory, while fighting grinds on in the east.
