Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested that Moscow could halt its ongoing military operations in Ukraine if the Ukrainian government agrees to hold national elections. This statement comes amid continued fighting in multiple regions, with both sides reporting casualties and infrastructure damage.

The international community continues to call for dialogue and de-escalation. The United Nations […]
