German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock says during a press conference in Kyiv that Ukraine is "prepared" for a ceasefire "without preconditions". "The one who is not doing this is the Russian president", she adds. On March 11, Ukraine, whose army is struggling on the frontline, and the United States agreed a plan for a 30-day ceasefire with Russia. But Putin has rejected the US proposal and has upped his rhetoric on Moscow wanting to install new leadership in Ukraine. SOUNDBITES
