🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡- The Economist says the Russian delegation threatened to seize areas in Kharkov and Sumy to create buffer zones.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 - Reports of Russia 'walking out' from the talks are false, and spread by strongly anti-Russian outlets such as The Economist and Axios. Russia's Head of delegation Medinsky has said the talks were 'positive' and the Russian side were 'satisfied'.

The talks were conducted behind closed-doors, so the media can only speculate as to what was said. Ukraine's Defense Minister and Head of Ukraine's delegation Umerov will brief the press in an hour.

The Russian delegation is planned to head back to Moscow this evening, when Putin's security cabinet is set to also meet. Therefore a press briefing by Kremlin Spokesman Dmitri Peskov can be expected later tonight or tomorrow morning.
