Russia-Ukraine War: Russia Promises To Scale Down Military Operations Around Kyiv

As the Russia-Ukraine peace talks proceeded in Istanbul, Russia promised to scale down military operations around Kyiv. Speaking about the same, Russian Deputy Defence Minister Alexander Fomin told reporters: "In order to increase mutual trust and create the necessary conditions for further negotiations and achieving the ultimate goal of agreeing and signing (an) agreement, a decision was made to radically, by a large margin, reduce military activity in the Kyiv and Chernihiv directions," However, it made no mention of other areas that has been witnessing heavy fighting including Mariupol, Sumy, Kharkiv, Kherson and Mykolaiv. Though Russia promised to reduce its position around Kyiv, the western countries expect that Moscow will intensify its military operations in other parts of the country. Reacting to Russia's promise, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said: "Ukrainians are not naive people. Ukrainians have already learned during these 34 days of the invasion, and over the past eight years of the war in Donbass, that the only thing they can trust is a concrete result." "The general staff of the Ukrainian armed forces said that Russia's promise to curtail military operations in some areas was probably a rotation of individual units and aims to mislead", Zelensky added.  https://youtu.be/lKPSXyX6jkM
