Putin says Russia ready for talks, but Zelensky says fresh strikes show 'no change' in Kremlin position

Russia is open to resuming trilateral talks with Ukraine and the U.S. focused on security parameters for a final peace agreement, according to President Putin. However, Ukraine accused Russia of maintaining its aggressive stance, as missile strikes occurred shortly after U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff's meeting with Putin. The attacks resulted in casualties in Kyiv and Lozova, with significant damage reported across multiple regions. Ukrainian President Zelensky criticized the lack of change in Russia's approach, emphasizing the ongoing violence despite diplomatic discussions.
