He gives orders to attack from all sides

Russia said the Russian military was ordered to expand its offensive in Ukraine “from all sides” after Kiev refused to hold talks in Belarus.

According to Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov, Putin ordered Russian forces to halt advances in Ukraine earlier on Friday.

The offensive was suspended pending possible negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, this was stated in a message from the RIA news agency.

Peskov accused Ukraine of prolonging the conflict by refusing to meet for talks. Russia has called for talks in Minsk, while Ukraine will meet in Warsaw.

Ukraine denies its refusal to negotiate with Russia.

Britain says the Russian offensive has been delayed due to logistical challenges and fuel shortages and because the Russians have met more resistance than they expected from Ukrainian forces.

Ukraine: Russia is making impossible demands

An adviser to the President of Ukraine said that they are ready to discuss a ceasefire, but Russia has facilitated impossible conditions for negotiations.

We support negotiations on a ceasefire, but not an ultimatum.

Zelensky: Turkey wants to close the Black Sea to Russian ships

Zelensky wrote on Twitter that Turkey would prevent Russian warships from entering the Black Sea.

According to Zelensky, Erdogan promised to block Russian ships from the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles. These straits connect the Mediterranean with the Black Sea.

I thank my friend President Erdogan and the Turkish people for their strong support, writes Zelensky.

A spokesman for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan denied making such a promise.

“Turkey has not yet taken a decision to close the Russian shipping strait,” the Middle East spokesman said.

The Russian authorities say through the Interfax news agency that they have not received information about this from Turkey.

According to the Montreux Convention, ships from the Black Sea countries could return to the base in wartime. Thus, such a move by Turkey would violate the agreements, because Russia has naval bases in the Black Sea, the Guardian wrote.
