Putin refused to sign an offered peace deal with Ukraine at the start of the war, Reuters reported. Pushing ahead with the Ukraine invasion has exposed Russia's military weaknesses. Russia firmly denies the existence of a deal and Ukraine did not confirm it. But Putin didn't agree, telling Kozak that his goals had changed and that they now included annexing parts of Ukraine, Reuters' sources said. Two sources said that Kozak reached the deal within days of the February 24 invasion, while a third said it happened just before.

A body of ice known as the "Doomsday Glacier" could melt faster than predicted, a new study says. The Thwaites Glacier protects the West Antarctic ice sheet, and researchers watch it closely. The melting of the Thwaites Glacier — which is around the size of Florida — could raise sea levels by up to two feet.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has at least two daughters he rarely talks about. He has two adult daughters with his ex-wife Lyudmila Shkrebneva: Maria, 36, and Katerina, 35. President Vladimir Putin is famously secretive of his personal life, and has fought hard to prevent the media and the world from knowing much about his family. Putin has never publicly acknowledged his children, though media outlets have for years speculated and reported about the two daughters Putin had with his ex-wife. And in August, ex-gymnast Alina Kabaeva — with whom Putin is rumoured to have had two children — was sanctioned by the US government.

TV host, actress, socialite , and former presidential candidate Ksenia Sobchak — who is rumored to be the goddaughter of President Vladimir Putin — has fled Russia for Lithuania. Her family ties with Putin go back to before she was born, when her father helped him enter national politics. And when she transformed herself from glamorous socialite and TV star to progressive politician, Putin made no attempt to stop her. "She has always got away with stuff, and it's always been understood that Putin's presidential administration made sure she didn't get into too much trouble," Dr Jade McGlynn, a Russia-focused researcher at the University of Oxford told Insider. Here's how Sobchak went from pop culture darling, to liberal opposition figure, to a fugitive of Putin's Russia.
