Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed willingness to hold peace talks with Ukraine in Slovakia, following Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico's offer to host negotiations. Fico, who recently visited Moscow, has been critical of EU support for Ukraine and has fostered closer ties with Russia. While Ukraine has not responded, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has shifted his stance, suggesting a ceasefire under NATO's protection to negotiate territorial recovery. The war has inflicted immense losses on both sides, with Russia's manpower significantly affected. Ukrainian forces have faced difficulties in reclaiming territories held by Russia.
