> Russian leader Vladimir Putin said Moscow wants to end the war and secure lasting, absolute peace in Ukraine and Europe rather than freeze the conflict. He said Russia is ready to negotiate with anyone willing to do so, while calling it a “military secret” whether Ukrainian weapons-production facilities in the United Kingdom could be targeted.
