Vladimir Putin is ready to halt the war with Ukraine and negotiate a ceasefire, Kremlin sources have claimed.

Three insiders stressed the Russian President had expressed frustration to a small group of advisers.

A source told Reuters: "Putin can fight for as long as it takes, but Putin is also ready for a ceasefire – to freeze the war."

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov repeatedly made clear Moscow was open to dialogue to achieve its goals, stressing Russia did not want "eternal war".

Putin's troops have sustained heavy losses since the Russian President launched his illegal invasion in February 2022.

Almost 500,000 personnel were killed, 7,635 tanks lost and 12,902 artillery systems destroyed.

Despite recent rumours about a ceasefire, the West has so far rejected previous suggestions of halting the conflict.

Russian troops control around 18 per cent of Ukraine and continue to bombard the north-eastern region of Kharkiv.

Putin could look to take more land to put further pressure on Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky to negotiate a settlement.

The 71-year-old, who secured yet another term as Russian President in March, supposedly needs another nationwide mobilisatiojn to make further incursions into the ex-Soviet state.

The likelihood of peace remains unlikely after Zelensky signed a decree in 2022 labelling talks with Putin "impossible".

Zelensky is keen for Ukraine to retake lost territory, including Crimea.

Ukraine will instead host talks in Switzerland next month in an attempt to unify public opinion on how to end the conflict.

Representatives from Moscow have not been invited to attend the event.

Responding to the imminent talks, Putin said: "We are ready for discussion. We never refused."
