Zelenskyy visits UK for E3 talks, Putin reportedly rejected peace offer, ZNPP power restored

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to the United Kingdom for bilateral discussions with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and a meeting in the "E3 plus Ukraine" format, including French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. This trip comes after reports that President Zelenskyy had invited Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich to Kyiv last month to deliver a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin about a possible personal meeting. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha subsequently stated that Putin "wasted an opportunity to exit a failing war" by declining Zelenskyy's proposal for direct peace negotiations. Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that external power was re-established at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant on Saturday, following a 15-hour outage, which marked the 18th such occurrence.
