KAZAN, Russia, Oct 23, (AFP): Russian President Vladimir Putin has welcomed offers by BRICS leaders to mediate in the Ukraine conflict and told them Moscow's forces were advancing on the battlefield, his spokesman said Wednesday.

Many countries "expressed a desire to contribute more actively" to resolving the conflict, state media cited Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as telling reporters on the sidelines of the BRICS summit.

In private talks with other leaders, Putin also highlighted "the very positive dynamics on the front for the Russian armed forces," Peskov said.
