Moscow March 4 2022: Ukrainian and Russian officials are expected to hold their third round of talks this weekend to try to end the fighting triggered by Moscow’s invasion.
“The third leg could take place tomorrow or the day after – we are in constant contact,” Ukrainian presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak said.

‘Nato needs not to be part of Russia-Ukraine conflict’, says US ambassador
The first round of talks saw officials from both sides meet on the Ukrainian border with Belarus – with little breakthrough.
In the second meeting between officials, Russia agreed to the need for temporary ceasefires in humanitarian corridors to allow civilians to escape the fighting. But Ukraine said this outcome wasn’t the result it was hoping for.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has previously asked Russian President Vladimir Putin for one-to-one talks, saying this is the only way to end the war.
