Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy responded guardedly on Sunday to a proposal from Russian President Vladimir Putin of rapid direct talks aimed at ending the war, saying Kyiv was willing to talk but only after Moscow agreed to a ceasefire. Putin made his proposal in a 1:30 a.m. (2230 GMT Saturday) televised statement from the Kremlin that coincided with prime time in the U.S., where President Donald Trump has been pressing both sides to agree to a truce of at least 30 days and stop the three-year-old war.
