RUSSIAN DEFENCE MINISTRY said Russia proposed a six-hour ceasefire in Konstantinovka on Monday to facilitate transfer of bodies and expects Ukraine to respond by Sunday midday.

Ukrainian President Zelenskiy said he spoke with President Trump, thanked the U.S. for aid — including Javelin anti-tank missiles and Patriot air-defence systems — and for political support. He said they discussed the frontline and diplomatic efforts, that an end to the war is a realistic prospect but U.S. resolve is crucial, and agreed to continue talks at the NATO summit in Ankara.

Peking University’s School of Integrated Circuits and the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology (Chinese Academy of Sciences) have developed the world’s first neurodynamics system chip using phase‑change memristors. The chip reduces single‑step latency to 2.12 ms and delivers 50–478x speedups versus advanced GPUs on cortical reconstruction tasks, addressing a decades‑long real‑time computing bottleneck; results were published in Science in the early hours of the 3rd.
