Ukraine's delegation was invited to Moscow for peace talks after a Geneva round earlier this year, according to Kyrylo Budanov, who is wanted in Russia on terrorism charges. The Russian side proposed the trip, which could have included a meeting with Vladimir Putin, but carried risks of arrest. Budanov, then head of military intelligence, said he was ready for any step to end the war if terms were acceptable to Ukraine. The Moscow visit never happened, and negotiations soon stalled. Budanov's account was previously unreported, and he made the remarks amid ongoing discussions about potential peace prospects.
