16:35⇢Putin Conditionally Accepts Ceasefire
⌨Russian media extensively reports that Putin has expressed conditional support for a ceasefire in Ukraine, stating "Russia agrees with proposals to end hostilities, but with conditions" (TASS, Interfax, RBC). Putin emphasized any agreement "must lead to long-term peace" (RT, Kommersant, Komsomolskaya Pravda), though he noted there are "nuances that require discussion" (Moscow Times, NTV, Lenta). Meanwhile, Russian sources report the liberation of Sudzha in Kursk region (Izvestia), with Putin thanking troops involved in the operation (Vesti). Svoboda offers a critical perspective, describing the conflict as a "purposeless war" affecting everyday Russian life.
