Putin privately says he is ready for ceasefire in Ukraine: Report
What happened
Putin's interest in a ceasefire has been signaled through back-channel communications, with conditions including Russia maintaining control over occupied territory, and Ukraine remaining a sovereign state with Kyiv as its capital. This marks a repeated exploration of peace talks, with previous attempts collapsing due to Russia's actions against civilians and soldiers in Ukraine. U.S. officials remain skeptical about the ceasefire proposal.
Why it matters
The development is significant as it could potentially bring an end to the two-year conflict, with both sides showing progress on the front lines. However, Ukraine's willingness to accept the proposed conditions is uncertain, given President Volodymyr Zelensky's vow to recover all seized territory.
