Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has proposed freezing the conflict in Ukraine and returning to peace negotiations under an "Istanbul 2.0" framework during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Omsk.
Meanwhile, Russian-installed officials in the occupied Zaporizhzhia region reported that the death toll from an attack on tourist facilities in Kyrylivka rose to 11, including four children.
