Moscow: It’s been 16 days since Russia invaded Ukraine. Is a general ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine conflict finally round the corner?
There was a ray of hope after Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that there were some “positive shifts” in talks between the two countries, AFP reported.
“There are certain positive shifts, negotiators from our side reported to me,” Putin told his Belarus counterpart Alexander Lukashenko during a televised meeting.
Putin also said that negotiations are now being held on an almost “daily basis.”
Though Russia has continued to bombard and strike several cities in Ukraine, bilateral talks have resulted in opening of a number of humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians from war-hit zones.
Indian students from Sumy were flown back home thanks to one such local ceasefire.
Though Russia has been hit by sanctions galore, Putin remained nonchalant.
“The USSR really lived in the conditions of sanctions and (still) developed and achieved colossal successes,” the Russian President said.
