Reported that Putin flatly rejected Ukraine's proposal for a mutual halt on long-range attacks, claiming Russian counterstrikes are 'much stronger, have greater impact, and are more destructive,' while Zelensky warned that Russia's rejection of diplomacy is prolonging the war. Al Jazeera framed the exchange as clarifying that the long-range duel will continue regardless of diplomatic overtures.
