Russia offered Ukraine a limited ceasefire to collect the bodies of soldiers from the battlefield, Moscow’s lead negotiator said after today’s peace talks in Istanbul.
Vladimir Medinsky, an aide to Vladimir Putin, said the truce would be for “two to three days in certain areas of the front line…so that commanders can collect the bodies”.
It is not yet clear if Ukraine has agreed to the proposal. Russia has previously announced limited ceasefires, but Kyiv is pushing for a full and unconditional truce.
