Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his openness to ceasefire talks with Ukraine. This is considered a significant development since the start of the war.

Putin proposed a bilateral meeting with Kiev and expressed hope that the ceasefire would be positively received. This is seen as part of efforts to reduce tensions between the two countries.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded to Putin's proposals, emphasizing the need to halt attacks on civilian targets. Zelensky stated that they are open to any discussions on this matter.

Putin's statements are seen as a hopeful step towards ending the war. However, both sides need to reach a clear agreement on the feasibility of the ceasefire.

If a ceasefire is achieved, it is noted that the U.S. has the capacity to manage this situation. This is emerging as a development that draws the attention of the international community.
