Putin Rejects Oslo Plan; Russia Escalates Kiev Bridge Destruction

Steve Witkoff flew from Oslo to St Petersburg carrying a European plan for Ukraine, and Vladimir Putin's team dismissed it as useless. In this episode we break down the Ushakov readout, Zelensky's media blitz, the first bombing of Kiev's bridges, the planned Abu Dhabi talks, Lavrov's NATO warning and the EU's scramble for a chief negotiator. Is the West trying to trick Russia into a frozen conflict, and is Ukraine now entering its endgame?
