The American negotiators reached Moscow that morning from the capital of the UAE. Consultations between Russian, US and Ukrainian representatives had ended there a day before. Delegation head Vladimir Medinsky said the sides had moved closer to peace. He added that much now depends on every participant. According to Medinsky, the main topic was the future shape of European security once the conflict ends.

Putin Proposes a Humanitarian Mission for Konstantinovka

During the Kremlin meeting, Putin suggested the Americans organise a humanitarian mission. The mission would evacuate civilians from Konstantinovka in the DPR. He said crews need five days to clear mines near the city. The president stressed that Russia controls the town. He added that Russia is ready to guarantee the safety of the operation. Both the evacuation idea and the Kushner Ukraine talks will shape the next steps.
