Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday that Moscow was ready for a new round of talks with Kiev today.

The clashes come on the seventh day as the Russian Defense Ministry announced that it has taken control of the city of Kherson, and the Ukrainian Defense Ministry has announced that the siege of the capital Kiev has been tightened.
