Delegates from both sides of the Ukrainian/Russian peace talks sounded positive ahead of more negotiations in the next few days.
It remains to be seen if this is the start of a peaceful resolution to the war or just another false dawn.
According to the Guardian, Ukrainian negotiator and presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak said talks had become more constructive.
Meanwhile fighting does continue as 35 were confirmed killed and 134 injured in a Russian attack targeting NATO military training base near Lviv, no NATO casualties reported.
Russian MOD: “As a result of today’s strike, up to 180 foreign mercenaries and a large batch of foreign weapons were destroyed” “The destruction of foreign mercenaries who have arrived on the territory of Ukraine will continue” “We will not concede in principle on any positions.
Russia now understands this.
Russia is already beginning to talk constructively.
