"Kremlin Considers 2022 Draft Document as Basis for Future Ukraine Peace Talks"

The Kremlin suggests that a draft peace agreement from 2022 could serve as a starting point for future Ukraine peace talks, despite Ukraine's rejection of the proposal. Russia has dismissed Ukraine's peace formula and Ukraine has rejected negotiating with Russia without guarantees of withdrawal from occupied areas. Ukrainian forces are struggling against the better-resourced Russian military, and Putin has vowed to extend Moscow's gains in Ukraine. The repatriation of 99 Ukrainian soldiers' bodies from Russia has been announced.
