REPORT: Russia to drastically reduce their attacks on Kyiv and Chernihiv

by The Right Scoop

Russia has announced that they are drastically reducing their attacks on both Kyvi and Chernihiv:

Here’s more from The Scotsman:

Russia’s deputy defence minister Alexander Fomin says Russia will “radically reduce” military activity outside the two cities, reports have claimed.

Mr Fomin said Moscow has decided to “fundamentally cut back military activity in the direction of Kyiv and Chernihiv” in order to “increase mutual trust for future negotiations to agree and sign a peace deal with Ukraine”, according to Russian news agency Tass.

Mr Fomin said: “Due to the fact that negotiations on the preparation of the Treaty on the Neutrality and Non-Nuclear Status of Ukraine, as well as on the provision of security guarantees to Ukraine, are moving into practice, taking into account the principles discussed during today’s meeting, by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in order to increase mutual trust and create the necessary conditions for further negotiations and achievement of the ultimate goal – the approval and signing of the above agreement – a decision was made to radically, at times, reduce military activity in the Kiev and Chernihiv directions.”

The news comes after three hours of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey – the first face-to-face talks in two weeks.

The announcement comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the Danish parliament that the Russian siege of the port city of Mariupol constitutes a “crime against humanity”.

I have a feeling this has more to do with Ukrainian counter attacks than with peace negotiations, but hey if it means an end to the war that Biden helped bring about, then so be it.
