Vladimir Putin has reportedly offered to halt Russia’s invasion of Ukraine at the current front lines, as President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv was ready for talks with Russia “in any format” once a ceasefire is set.

Moscow launched strikes across Ukrainian cities hours after Putin said he was considering a pause on civilian targets.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy called for a moratorium on “striking civilian infrastructure,” while Moscow said such a proposal could be tackled through bilateral negotiations.
