MOSCOW, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Kremlin foreign policy ‌aide ​Yury Ushakov said on ‌Friday that a ceasefire in Ukraine is only possible ​after Kyiv's forces withdraw from the entire Donbas region, with the area they ‍currently control taken over ​by Russian National Guard, Russian newspaper Kommersant reported.

The European Union has decided to indefinitely freeze €210bn worth of Russia ’s assets, so that Hungary and Slovakia, two countries with friendly relations with Moscow, cannot prevent billions of euros from being used to support Ukraine.

Russia attacked two Ukrainian ports on Friday, damaging three Turkish-owned vessels including a ship carrying food supplies, Ukrainian officials and one ship owner said, days after Moscow threatened to cut "Ukraine off from the sea".

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan met Vladimir Putin on Friday and told the Russian leader that a limited ceasefire in the Ukraine-Russia war, targeting energy facilities and ports in particular, could be beneficial, Erdogan’s office says.

Espen Barth Eide said the outcome of the war will also affect the future of his country, the UK and the rest of the continent.

Ukraine will be ready to establish an energy ceasefire with Russia if Moscow agrees to such an initiative, stated President Volodymyr Zelenskyy while responding to questions from journalists. The head of state noted that Russian forces continue to strike Ukraine's energy sector,

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he is working with European leaders to finalize a 20-point peace plan and spoke with U.S. officials about a postwar reconstruction.
