“Vladimir Putin has lost interest in diplomatic efforts to end his war with Ukraine and instead appears set on seizing as much Ukrainian territory as possible,” the Financial Times reports.
“Putin, who was seriously considering a peace deal with Ukraine after Russia suffered battlefield setbacks last month, has told people involved in trying to end the conflict that he sees no prospects for a settlement.”
Jim Sciutto: “Russian forces are proving ruthless in Ukraine. There is evidence virtually every day of WW2-level war crimes here. Please don’t turn your gaze away.”
