Alexander Darchiev, Russia's ambassador to the United States since 2025, has died, Ukraine's 24 Kanal (24 Канал) reports in a bulletin that moves from deaths involving Russian officials to the negotiations over ending the war. Presenter Yana Bohoslavska gives no cause of death in the segment.

The report opens with footage of a car explosion on Kolpinskoe Highway in St. Petersburg, which the presenter describes as an attack targeting a Russian military colonel. The bulletin then turns to diplomacy, setting Moscow's territorial demands alongside Ukrainian objections to its account of the battlefield.

Vladimir Medinsky, the Russian delegation's leader at talks in Abu Dhabi and an aide to President Vladimir Putin, says Russia will not relinquish captured territory. He also announces a prisoner exchange, according to the report. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov describes the negotiating process in terms of achieving Russia's war aims, while an accompanying Russian podcast extract offers a sharply different assessment: commentators discuss the war's heavy toll and lack of progress for Russia.

Kremlin footage shows Putin meeting U.S. representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, with Russian officials Yuri Ushakov and Kirill Dmitriev also present. Kushner's remarks emphasize the complexity of reaching agreements and the desire for greater progress.

The battlefield dispute centers on Kostiantynivka, a city in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region. The presenter examines Putin's proposed evacuation corridor, including his assurance that Russia would provide security on its side. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy disputes the Russian picture of the front and says Putin is operating with different information and a different understanding of reality.

The later sections broaden the discussion beyond Ukraine's territory. The bulletin cites Axios reporting that Washington asked Russia to propose a new security agreement with Europe, and Reuters reporting that Moscow could conclude non-aggression pacts with individual NATO members. These are presented as proposals under discussion, not completed agreements. Footage from a Collective Security Treaty Organization summit follows, with Putin describing joint military exercises and plans for the alliance's forces.

The closing military update reports the loss of two Russian Ka-52 helicopters during a drone attack near Ust-Luga in the Leningrad region, followed by eyewitness footage of a fire at the Omsk oil refinery after what the presenter describes as a major drone strike. Russian television host Vladimir Solovyov discusses air-defense difficulties and calls for greater scientific and industrial effort. Bohoslavska ends by reporting restrictions on Starlink terminal speeds in Ukraine.
