Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has proposed withdrawing troops from eastern Ukraine to establish a demilitarized zone, contingent on Russia doing the same. This proposal aims to create a buffer in the Donbas region, a key area of conflict. Zelenskyy also suggested a similar arrangement for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Meanwhile, Russia conducted a large-scale aerial attack across Ukraine, targeting energy and civilian infrastructure, resulting in casualties. Zelenskyy called for increased pressure on Russia to end the war.
