Where the versions diverge
Russian agencies present Peskov's statement as Putin's readiness to meet Kyiv halfway; Ukrainian media present it as a rejection of a 60-day truce and an offer of just one day, with the caveat "allegedly". The EU considers elections possible only after a ceasefire.
What Russia reports
automatic summary Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that if Kyiv "really wants to hold elections", Putin would be ready to order that no strikes be carried out on Ukraine on election day.

What Ukraine reports
automatic summary Ukrainska Pravda stresses that Peskov rejected a 60-day ceasefire for holding elections: in his words, Kyiv does not really want elections and needs the 60 days to "regroup". EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said elections cannot take place while the war goes on and pressure must be directed at Russia.
