Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested that the Ukraine war may be nearing its end, a statement made shortly after a scaled-back Victory Day parade in Moscow. He indicated a willingness to negotiate new security arrangements for Europe, specifically mentioning former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder as a preferred partner. The remarks come amid a three-day ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine, though both nations have accused each other of violating the truce. The ongoing conflict, which has resulted in hundreds of thousands of casualties, has severely impacted both nations, with Russia controlling about one-fifth of Ukrainian territory. Putin criticized Western support for Ukraine, stating that attempts to weaken Russia have failed. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy highlighted Ukraine's strong ties with Europe, asserting that the continent has stood with Ukraine since the onset of the war. The situation remains tense, with no plans to extend the ceasefire and ongoing discussions about prisoner exchanges.
