NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte:

"He [Putin] didn't send serious people to the negotiations [in Istanbul]. I remember that you were able, with Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff, to get these talks going.

We really put pressure on the Ukrainians to send a senior team to Istanbul, and they did. But then the Russians came up with this historian [Medinsky] explaining the history of Russia since 1250."

"I speak to him [Putin] a lot about getting this thing done. And I always hang up and say, 'Well, that was a nice phone call.' And then missiles are launched into Kyiv or some other city. And I say, 'Strange.' And after that happens three or four times, you say, 'The talk doesn't mean anything.' I go home and tell the first lady, 'I spoke to Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation.' She said, 'Oh, really? Another city was just hit.'

Trump, like a greased pig, is nearly impossible to nail down...

[Journalist]:
If Putin escalates further, how far are you willing to go in response?

Trump:
Don't ask me a question like that. How far? I don't know. I want to get the war settled.
They're not Americans that are dying in it, and, you know, I have a problem, and J.D. has a problem. It's a stance that he's had for a long time.

"Met with General Keith Kellogg, Special Representative of the President of the United States. We had a productive conversation.

We discussed the path to peace and what we can practically do together to bring it closer.

Thank you, Keith Kellogg, for this visit to Ukraine. I am grateful to President Trump for important signals of support and positive decisions for both of our countries. We appreciate the support of the American people."

U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal on how the West plans to use Russia’s frozen assets:

"I think a multifaceted approach here is the only way to bring Putin to the table, because he's a thug. He understands only force.

Part of the plan is for Ukraine to be given assets by NATO, and they're purchasing those military assets from the United States. But the seized property, the seized assets from Russia can be accessed by the Europeans.

The video shows Ukraine's Defense Intelligence (HUR) ground robot "Liut" destroying Russian occupiers with a machine gun on the frontline in Sumy region, along with an intercepted Russian radio transmission reacting to the encounter with the robot.

Armed with a machine gun, the robot overcomes difficult terrain, including fallen trees and shell craters, maintains a stable connection while moving, and transmits live video to the command post.

Senator Lindsey Graham:

I expect in the coming days you will see weapons flowing at a record level to help Ukraine defend themselves...
I expect in the coming days more support from Europe regarding their efforts to help Ukraine. Putin made a miscalculation here. For six months President Trump tried to entice Putin to the table.
The attacks have gone up not down. One of the biggest miscalculations Putin has made is to play Trump."
