What did Putin say about Russia's readiness to continue negotiations with the US on Ukraine, and under what condition?

Putin stated that Russia is 'ready to continue negotiations and discussion of the details and modalities — if not agreements, then at least the topics discussed in Anchorage,' and that Moscow expects US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to travel to Moscow 'once Washington is no longer preoccupied with the conflict with Iran.'

Why did Putin reject the two new proposals to limit fighting in Ukraine, and what were those proposals?

Putin rejected two new proposals: one to halt long-range strikes deep inside Russian and Ukrainian territory, and another to confine fighting to just the four occupied Ukrainian regions; he rejected the latter because it would allow Ukrainian forces to redeploy troops from other sections of the front, though he did not identify who proposed them.
