Kyiv expressed dismay at remarks by a US envoy regarding territorial concessions, as Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned of Russian escalation after a drone hit a train.

Comments by United States President Donald Trump's special envoy have prompted concern in Kyiv after he suggested peace could be achieved if Ukraine accepted Russia's territorial demands. The envoy added that Moscow's representatives are currently "saying the right things."

Meanwhile, security tensions along NATO's eastern border intensified after a Russian drone struck a passenger train traveling from Ukraine to Warsaw, Poland. Following the incident, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk declared that Russian escalation "has become a reality." The strike highlights growing vulnerabilities along international transit routes connecting Ukraine to European Union neighboring states as diplomatic efforts remain stalled.
