Russia will reduce military activity in parts of Ukraine, according to a Tuesday announcement.
Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Formin said the country will “reduce military activity in the Kyiv and Chernihiv direction” in pursuit of coming to an agreement to end the war,” Just the News reports.
“Due to the fact that negotiations on the preparation of an agreement on the neutrality and non-nuclear status of Ukraine, as well as on the provision of security guarantees to Ukraine, are moving into practice, taking into account the principles discussed during today’s meeting, by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in order to increase mutual trust and create the necessary conditions for further negotiations and achieving the ultimate goal of agreeing on the signing of the above agreement, a decision was made to radically, at times, reduce military activity in the Kiev and Chernihiv direction,” Russian state media quoted Formin saying.
The announcement comes after what Russians called a productive day of discussions in Turkey, during which Ukraine supposedly offered proposals that will be “considered in the near future” and presented to Putin.
