A fourth round of high-level discussions between Ukrainian and Russian officials is underway even as Moscow’s troops press their assault on Kyiv and other cities.
Ukrainian presidential aide Mykhailo Podolyak tweeted a photo of the two sides meeting by video link on Monday. Podolyak said on Twitter earlier that the negotiators would discuss “peace, ceasefire, immediate withdrawal of troops & security guarantees.”
Previous rounds were held in person on the border with Belarus, most recently a week ago, and failed to produce a breakthrough. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video address, “Everyone is waiting for news. We will definitely report in the evening.”
