Russia says it will cut back military operations near Kyiv during peace talks
Russian and Ukrainian delegations met face-to-face for the first time in weeks on Tuesday in Istanbul, Turkey, to discuss a possible cease-fire.
In a sign of progress, Russia’s military said that it would cut back operations near Ukraine’s capital and the northern Ukrainian city of Chernihiv.
As talks got underway, Russian forces continued their attacks — hitting an oil depot in western Ukraine and demolishing a government building in the south that killed several individuals, according to The Associated Press.
