Putin preparing for new operation in European territories, Zelensky warns
Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that Russia is 'not looking for a way out of the war' and instead preparing to launch a new operation in Europe. Posting on X on Monday (30 June), the Ukrainian president said that Vladimir Putin is 'not changing his plans' and is always 'looking for where to exploit a weakness'. He cautioned: 'They are preparing for new operations including on the territory of European territories.' 'They must see that there is the wherewithal to stop them everywhere,' he said, adding that Ukraine 's allies should show 'more resilience, more coordination and efficiency of our common security architecture in Europe'. On Tuesday (1 July), a Russia-appointed official claimed that Moscow troops have occupied all of illegally-annexed Luhansk, making it the only Ukrainian region to have fallen in its entirety during the war.

Putin says Russia wants 'serious negotiations with Ukraine'
The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has proposed restarting direct talks with Ukraine in Istanbul on 15 May. The offer came in response to Ukraine and its allies urging Moscow to commit to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire. Speaking to reporters, Putin referenced the unsuccessful 2022 peace talks that took place in Istanbul in the first month of Moscow's full-scale invasion and proposed restarting them without preconditions. The leaders of four major European countries have threatened to ratchet up pressure on Moscow if it does not accept the unconditional 30-day ceasefire.
