Sputnik/Mikhail Metzel/Pool via REUTERSFILE PHOTO: Russian President Vladimir Putin chairs a meeting with members of the Security Council via video link at the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia Mar 7, 2025. In Kyiv, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hailed this week's meeting in Saudi Arabia as constructive, and said a potential 30-day ceasefire with Russia could be used to draft a broader peace deal. Putin called for Russia's forces to swiftly retake any remaining area from Kyiv's troops. Deep State, an authoritative Ukrainian site that charts the frontlines of the war, updated its battlefield map to show Ukrainian forces were no longer in control of Sudzha. Ukraine says the regions claimed by Moscow have been annexed illegally and that it will never recognise Russian sovereignty over them.
