If we compare Russia and Ukraine's positions in the negotiations at first and now, we can see significant progress”, Slutsky said.

I expect that progress can increase in a unified position of both delegations and in a document for signature”, he said.

Delegates from both sides of the peace talks have sounded positively, ahead of negotiations to continue next days, reports The Guardian.

Ukrainian negotiator and presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said the talks have become more constructive.

We will not in principle accept any position. Russia now understands that. Russia has already begun to speak constructively. I think we'll achieve some results within a few days”, he said in a video published on social networks.

This comes after French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke on the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who they said did not show readiness to end the war.
