KRAINIAN President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has welcomed Russia's offer for direct peace talks but insisted there must be a full ceasefire before they can start.

- ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTERS

Putin's peace talks offer given cautious welcome

He was speaking after Russian leader Vladimir Putin effectively rejected a ceasefire proposal but instead called for the resumption of direct talks with Ukraine in Istanbul on May 15, “without preconditions”.

Calling it a “positive sign” Mr Zelenskyy said on X yesterday: “The entire world has been waiting for this for a very long time?”

However he added: “The very first step in truly ending any war is a ceasefire.”

Meanwhile, Russia resumed mass drone attacks in Ukraine early yesterday, after its self-declared three-day pause expired.

Russia launched 108 attack drones and simulator drones from six different directions, Ukraine's air force said yesterday. It said 60 drones were shot down and another 41 simulator drones failed to reach targets due to Ukrainian counter-measures.
