Putin says he believes the Russia-Ukraine war is coming to an end after Victory Day parade

Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters on Saturday that he believes the Russia-Ukraine conflict is 'coming to an end,' remarks made following Moscow's Victory Day parade marking the Soviet victory in World War II. The comments came as a three-day ceasefire brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump went into effect, accompanied by an agreement to exchange 1,000 prisoners from each side. Putin also said he would be willing to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a third country once final agreements are reached, and identified former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder as his preferred negotiating partner.
