Putin has accused Ukraine of not showing a “serious commitment” to peace in a blow to ceasefire hopes, as explosions rocked Kyiv early this morning.
A Russian statement said: "Vladimir Putin laid out his principled assessments of the ongoing talks between Russian and Ukrainian representatives on an agreement that would take into account Russia’s earlier demands. He stressed that Kiev is not showing a serious commitment to finding mutually acceptable solutions."

Meanwhile, in Mariupol, Russian forces are reported to be firing from a hospital with 500 patients and staff held hostage. Troops stormed houses and rounded up 400 residents on Tuesday evening, forcing them into the southern city’s hospital number two alongside 100 patients and doctors.
Putin needs to take Mariupol so he can secure a land corridor between Donbas and Crimea as part of his mutually acceptable solutions. But he may be running out of generals.
