On Monday, Russian and Ukrainian delegations met at the Belarusian-Ukrainian border for the first talks since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops to invade Ukraine last Thursday.
After the talks, both countries agreed to consult and meet again on a yet-to-be-announced date.
However, the Ukrainian presidency had demanded an immediate Russian ceasefire and troop withdrawal ahead of the talks.
Here are the 18 latest developments in Russia’s war in Ukraine after Monday’s peace talks:
– Kyiv braces –
Satellite images show a vast military column amassing just north of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, where residents are braced for a Russian assault.
The Russian army tells them they can “freely leave” on one highway going south as it hints of attacks on civilian areas.
– Kharkiv assault –
Russian forces shell Ukraine’s second city Kharkiv, killing at least 11 civilians in residential areas, its mayor says.
