Putin has lost interest in talks to end the war - report
Vladimir Putin is no longer interested in diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict and instead wants to seize as much Ukrainian territory as possible, according to a report in the Financial Times.
Three people briefed on conversations with the Russian president told the paper that Mr Putin was seriously considering a peace deal with Ukraine last month.
However, they said he now cannot see any resolution through diplomatic talks and believes they are at a "dead end".
One person briefed on the talks said: "Putin sincerely believes in the nonsense he hears on [Russian] television and he wants to win big."
His approach hardened after the sinking of Russian warship Moskva, which Ukraine has claimed responsibility for.
A source said: "Putin was against signing anything... after the Moskva he doesn't look like a winner, because it was humiliating."
