The peace talks on the third phase of the ceasefire, attended by representatives of Russia and Ukraine, ended without any conclusion.
As Russia’s military operation in Ukraine reaches its 13th day, Russian forces continue to advance towards the capital, Kiev, and the cities of Irbin and Vinnitsha are bombed.
Police and the Ukrainian military are working to evacuate thousands of civilians without food or water.
The meeting resumed at the same location near the Polish border, where no progress was made in the two-stage talks between Ukraine and Russia.
The Russian delegation stated that Crimea would be part of Russia and that Donetsk and Luhansk would be declared autonomous regions, including amending the Ukrainian constitution.
It has been reported that the 4th phase of talks will take place soon, though the talks have ended without any conclusion being reached. However, the Russian envoy said that humanitarian evacuation of people from war-torn areas would not continue today.
