Russian Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that the determination of whether to withdraw diplomatic missions from Kyiv lies with the individual countries involved.

The New York Times reported that Moscow and Washington are discussing the sale of Lukoil’s foreign assets as part of broader Ukraine conflict resolution talks, though the Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declined to confirm or comment on these specific claims.

Colonel Majed Al-Nuzaili of the government forces alleged that troops executed a flanking maneuver against Houthi positions. These claims remain unverified by independent observers.

An army representing an internationally recognized government reported securing significant advances near a strategic strait shortly before officials from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey convened. The veracity of these battlefield claims remains unverified, as independent confirmation of the tactical situation has not yet been established.
