Tentative hopes for Ukraine peace talks after fierce Russian attacks

Previous rounds of talks have had similar aims but have ended up focused mainly on humanitarian issues

Ukraine said it would seek to discuss a ceasefire, immediate withdrawal of troops and security guarantees with Russia on Monday after both sides reported rare progress at the weekend, despite fierce Russian bombardments.

Qazet.az reports that previous rounds of talks have had similar aims but have ended up focused mainly on humanitarian issues and agreed ceasefires to supply towns and cities under siege by Russian forces have frequently failed.
