Russian reaction and mutual allegations
So far, Moscow has not responded to the Ukrainian allegations that a civilian bus has been made. However, the Russian news agency TASS reported at the same time, citing a declaration by the Ministry of Defense that Russian armed forces had attacked a Ukrainian location for military equipment in the Sumy region. Both Russia and Ukraine have accused each other of targeting civilians, but each side denies.
consequences of the attacks
A picture shared by the Ukrainian national police showed a badly damaged van with large holes on the right and upper side of the seats. The windows and the windshield were broken. In total, Russian attacks in Ukraine have killed at least 13 people in the past 24 hours and injured over 38, including the attack in Sumy. Two were killed in the Donetsk region, one person died in both the Charkiw and Cherson regions.
peace talks and a lack of progress
The talks on Friday marked the first personal meeting of the two sides since the early weeks of the war. The meeting took place in Istanbul, chaired by Turkey, with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who originally suggested the talks, sent a lower -ranking delegation. The Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj also stayed away because he had declared that he did not want to meet another Russian official representative, but only with Putin himself.
unchanged positions
During the talks, Russia demanded that Ukraine have to cede areas that are still under the control of Kiev. This position has long been rejected by Ukraine. The leaders of Great Britain, France, Germany and Poland described the Russian demands in the negotiations as "unacceptable".
