Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said President Vladimir Putin still wanted a peaceful resolution to the war but reiterated that Russia’s conditions for a deal had not changed

Russia is open to peace with Ukraine, but achieving its goals remains a priority, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Sunday, days after U.S. President Donald Trump gave Moscow a 50-day deadline to agree to a ceasefire or face tougher sanctions.

US President Donald Trump’s 50-day pause ahead of possible secondary sanctions on Russia gifts the Kremlin a window to exploit the incremental gains of recent weeks in Ukraine’s east.

Russia launched a massive attack on Ukraine overnight into Saturday with hundreds of drones, killing at least one person, part of a stepped-up bombing campaign that has dashed hopes for a breakthrough in efforts to end the more than 3-year-old war.

KYIV (Reuters) -Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday that Russia launched over 30 missiles and 300 drones in an overnight attack. The attack damaged critical infrastructure in Sumy, where several thousand families suffered power cuts, he added in a statement on the Telegram messaging app.
