Putin suggests Russia’s war on Ukraine ‘coming to an end’

Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested that his country's war on Ukraine may be 'coming to an end' and expressed a willingness to meet his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in a third country if a peace deal is finalized. These remarks came after a scaled-back Victory Day parade in Moscow, where Putin praised Russian troops and blamed Western globalist elites for the war. Russia and Ukraine also began a three-day ceasefire and agreed to exchange 1,000 prisoners.
