Putin cites chance of peace deal, Ukraine sees ‘new dynamic’
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday there was a chance of reaching an agreement to end the war in Ukraine, while Kyiv said it expected a "new dynamic" in peace efforts.
Russian President Vladimir Putin hinted at a possible peace deal in Ukraine during an economic forum in the country's far east on Thursday. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha expressed optimism, stating that a "new dynamic" will be seen in peace efforts. Putin emphasized that the resolution of the conflict must be achieved by Russia and Ukraine themselves.
Both sides have ramped up military activity, with Russia conducting long-range air attacks and Ukraine targeting strategic infrastructure. The absence of progress has been attributed to Ukraine's recent actions, including attacks on civilian ships and threats to civilian aircraft. Despite these developments, no specific reasons for optimism were provided.
Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar offered assistance, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the importance of ending the war for global peace.
