Good morning, come back to live coverage of the war in Ukraine.
Speculation was made yesterday when a potential peace between Russia and Ukraine could begin.
It began at the end of last week when Donald Trump said he had spoken with Vladimir Putin, according to the US president.
However, the Kremlin remained tight and refused to confirm whether the conversation had occurred.
Later, senior Russian politicians yesterday said that Moscow has yet to receive a “good offer” to launch peace talks despite those claims by Trump, but the report states that It suggests that the US president’s envoy is preparing plans to present to Washington.
Later that day we got something more specific – the Russian vice minister said that the terms outlined by Putin in June last year must be met if negotiations are to be made.
A step back, our Moscow correspondent, Ivor Bennett, has said that other recent media interviews given by Russian officials have effectively laid out the opening gambit ahead of potential peace talks in Moscow. I proposed that.
Follow all the developments here throughout the day. Don’t forget to read our big picture – we will take you all you need to pay attention to at the beginning of the week.
