Emmanuel Bonne, French President's national security advisor, traveled to Moscow for talks with Putin's advisor Yuri Ushakov regarding peace in Ukraine. However, according to the Financial Times, Ushakov delivered a harsh message, indicating a setback for European efforts.

Yuri Ushakov, an advisor to Vladimir Putin, stated that Russia would inform the United States that France and the United Kingdom intend to supply Ukraine with nuclear weapons or related technology, a claim quickly refuted by the UK.
