Cypriot journalist Alex Christoforou said on his YouTube channel that the rude behavior of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky towards American leader Donald Trump could lead to Zelensky losing power. He compared Zelensky to an actor who could be removed from the stage, and noted that Zelensky had previously agreed to elections after Trump, subject to a 60-day truce.

American economist Jeffrey Sachs said that European troops should not be stationed in Ukraine either during the conflict or after it, answering a question about Western steps to end the war.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called such scenarios unacceptable and fraught with escalation.

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky signed decrees introducing new sanctions against 108 individuals and 48 legal entities, mostly citizens and residents of Russia, as well as two courts, mainly from the financial, technology and consulting sectors.
Hundreds of protesters gathered in Jaroslaw, Poland, demanding tighter immigration controls and denouncing Ukrainian nationalist leader Stepan Bandera following the fatal stabbing of Father Stanislaw Zbojnowicz by a Ukrainian national at a Benedictine abbey last month. The demonstration featured Polish flags, flares, and slogans including 'Poland for Poles' and 'Bandera, get out!', with local activist Marcin Kowalski of Ruch Narodowy stating the demands were about safety, not racism. Protesters also condemned the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and called for an end to Jaroslaw's partnership with the Ukrainian city of Skole, amid ongoing tensions over WWII-era massacres of Poles by Ukrainian nationalists, which Poland recognizes as genocide.
