  • According to the Financial Times, Putin is done trying to negotiate a peace deal.

  • According to sources close to Putin, it is not the right time to meet with Zelenskyy.

  • The Moskva, a Russian naval ship, was sunk.

According to the Financial Times, Putin wants to seize as much territory as possible instead of negotiating with Ukraine.

According to three people briefed on conversations with the Russian president, Putin was initially open to a peace deal with Ukraine after Russian troops failed to reach their objectives in the first few weeks of the war.

The Russian Moskva cruiser was sunk in the Black Sea earlier this month, and his stance has changed.

There was hope for a deal according to one person. He needs to find a way to win.

The person said that he doesn't look like a winner after the Moskva.

The sources said that Putin is not interested in meeting with Zelenskyy, who has previously said he is open to sitting down with his counterpart.

A person briefed on the conversation told the Financial Times that Putin told the European Council president that it was not the right time.

They said that he wanted everything to be decided before their meeting.

According to the source, Putin's comments are an indication that he is going to capture as much territory as possible.

A Russian general said last week that his country wanted to "establish full control" over the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine. Russian officials are worried that they may look even further.

Zelenskyy told reporters on Saturday that if the last Ukrainian fighters in Mariupol are killed by Russian forces, he would no longer negotiate with Russia.

Zelenskyy told reporters that he had insisted on talks with the Russian president.

I have to meet him so that I can resolve this conflict by diplomatic means.
