Kyiv Post reports that Vladimir Putin rejected a proposed bilateral energy ceasefire after talks in Moscow with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, and that Volodymyr Zelensky calls Putin's "humanitarian operation" plan for Kostiantynivka a military ploy aimed at Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. Zelensky warns that a 161-km/h speed cap on Starshield in occupied territories degrades air defense and sounds political, prompting senators Jeanne Shaheen and Chris Coons to demand SpaceX preserve records and lawmakers Gregory Meeks and Adam Smith to condemn the limits.
