Russia and Ukraine Hold a Fourth Round of Peace Talks
Officials from Russia and Ukraine are set to engage in a fourth round of peace talks on Monday as Moscow presses toward Kyiv in the third week of its invasion.
The previous three rounds of talks have not led to any major breakthroughs, instead largely centering on humanitarian issues and cease-fires to allow civilians to leave cities under attack by Russia. Even those agreements, however, have fallen through on a number of occasions.
Monday’s talks mark the first time the two sides are sitting for negotiations in a week, according to The Associated Press. The discussion — held by video conference despite the others being in person — comes on day 19 of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
