Reports from Ukraine's side say President Zelensky insists Europe must take part in any settlement and calls US pressure to cede Donbas unacceptable, while urging a prisoner exchange of over 5,000 people; these rest largely on a single Telegram channel. Ukraine reportedly expects its first Swedish Gripen fighters in early 2027 for air defence against Geran-4 jet-drones. Reuters, citing Russian plant management, reports a worker at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was killed in a drone strike, with no further details. Diplomacy in Abu Dhabi continues, with Trump saying post-war Ukraine will have a 'different shape'.
