> Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Ukraine must pay for strikes it has carried out in the Black Sea and is already suffering consequences. He said Russia wants lasting peace rather than a ceasefire, remains open to negotiations and sees no Ukrainian willingness for comprehensive agreements. Peskov said there were no specific details on a Turkish and UN initiative for Black Sea ceasefire talks.
