Russian President Vladimir Putin is yet to confirm if he'll attend direct talks with Ukraine this week.
It comes after western allies in the 'Coalition of the Willing' offered a US backed 30-day cease-fire proposal to Russia, alongside the threat of sanctions.
Ukraine President Zelenskyy's asking for a ceasefire before they begin talks but is willing to meet in Turkey on Thursday.
Europe Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking Putin requested the meeting, without preconditions.
She says he may not even attend and instead could send his Foreign Minister.
