Russia's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergey Lavrov, indicated that talks with Ukraine were being continued. He stressed that "peace talks" are not easy, but there is hope for a compromise. Additionally, he says that certain issues of the agreement are almost complete. Lavrov also says the discussion focuses primarily on Ukraine's neutral status.
Of course, this gives the markets hope for an end to the conflict, but at the same time it is worth remembering that Lavrov has recently been saying things completely detached from reality. These words are not confirmed by the Ukrainian side.
On the other hand, Ukraine points out that it is launching a counter-attack in many regions and is also talking about creating new humanitarian corridors.
