First round of Ukraine-Russia talks conclude as invasion continues into fifth day | ITV News

The first round of crucial talks between Ukraine and Russia have concluded as fighting rages on with the Russian invasion continuing into its fifth day.

Ukrainian authorities did not reveal any information about the talks but said the delegations had returned to their capitals and more could take place soon.

The negotiations were held on the border with Belarus and were the first face-to-face talks since the start of the invasion.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office said it would be demanding an immediate cease-fire and withdrawal of Russian troops.

It was not immediately clear what President Vladimir Putin was seeking in the meeting held at a long table with the blue-and-yellow Ukrainian flag on one side and the Russian tricolour on the other.
