Putin Ready to 'Freeze' Ukraine War: Report

Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to "freeze" the war in Ukraine on current front lines, according to a report.

The development was reported by Reuters on Friday, citing four anonymous Russian sources familiar with the matter.

"Putin can fight for as long as it takes, but Putin is also ready for a ceasefire – to freeze the war," a senior Russian source told the publication.

Newsweek couldn't independently corroborate the report and has contacted Russia's foreign ministry for comment by email.

The prospect of peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow have been raised multiple times since the Russian leader launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
