Paris: Russia and Ukraine reach an agreement on a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine after 8 hours of diplomatic talks. The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by French diplomats. With Russia deploying troops near the eastern Ukrainian border, the threat of occupation remained in the region. But reports from People say that’s just what’s happening.
This is the first time since 2019 that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to sign a joint statement. In addition to Russia and Ukraine, France and Germany, which have been working to restore peace in eastern Ukraine since 2014, have signed the statement. Countries have signed an unconditional ceasefire.
The next diplomatic talks will take place in Berlin two weeks later. Earlier, US President Joe Biden said he would take a tough stance against Russia if it invaded Ukraine.
