Vladimir Putin is demanding that Ukraine give up all of the eastern Donbas region, renounce ambitions to join NATO, remain neutral and keep Western troops out of the country, three sources familiar with top-level Kremlin thinking told Reuters.

NATO aircraft scrambled from Romania following a large-scale Russian attack on across Ukraine overnight, including in the Odesa region near Danube River border with allied nation.

Russia said Wednesday attempts to resolve security issues relating to Ukraine without Moscow's participation were a "road to nowhere," and that much diplomatic work needs to be done before Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy are ever in the same room.

China said it is open to playing a "constructive role" in resolving the Ukraine crisis after Russia suggested Beijing could be one of the guarantors of Ukrainian security under a peace deal—a proposal Kyiv rejected.

What would Russia and its President Vladimir Putin like to see in a possible peace deal to end the war in Ukraine? Here's what we know:

Russia launched a massive overnight assault on Ukraine, firing 614 projectiles in what marks the most extensive aerial strike in three weeks.

Despite these efforts, strikes landed in 11 locations, including in Western Ukraine.
