Russian president Vladimir Putin is not ready to make compromises to end his invasion of Ukraine, a senior US official has warned.
The official told Reuters that Putin would not be willing to make concessions at this point despite the first face-to-face negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in more than two weeks being set to resume.
Russia has suffered significant losses during the invasion, with Ukraine claiming that 16,000 Russian soldiers have been killed, as well as substantial losses of military hardware such as tanks, aircraft, and ships.
