The Hindu  

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday accused Ukrainian authorities of stalling talks, but added that Moscow was ready to search for solutions as he spoke with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. “Nevertheless, the Russian side is ready to continue to search for solutions in line with its well-known principled approaches.” Mr. Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the phone talks between Putin and Scholz "tough" but added that such contacts were still needed. “Unfortunately, the Ukrainian delegation is not ready to accelerate the pace of talks.” In talks with Scholz, Mr. Putin also stressed that Russian troops were “doing their best” to save civilians including through safe corridors, the Kremlin said, adding that some 43,000 people had been evacuated from the southeastern city of Mariupol on Thursday. Mr. Putin will also speak by phone with French President Emmanuel Macron Friday evening, Mr. Peskov said.
