MOSCOW — The
Kremlin said Tuesday it was too
soon to draw any conclusions from talks to resolve the conflict in Ukraine as
fighting intensified around the capital Kyiv.

“The work is complex, but the very fact
that the work is continuing is in itself positive,” Kremlin spokesman
Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
“We don’t want to give any forecasts.
Let’s wait for tangible results,” he said.
Delegations from
Moscow and Kyiv have
met for four rounds of talks to find a diplomatic resolution to the nearly
three weeks of fighting between Russia’s army and Ukraine.
Both sides earlier raised hopes that a
document might be signed at meetings held by video-conference Monday, before
the sides announced a break for a “technical pause”.
Peskov said Tuesday it was “too early”
to discuss the format of any document that could be adopted as a result of
negotiations, saying this was part of discussions between negotiators.
Both sides indicated over the weekend
that they were making headway.
Russia’s negotiators hailed “significant
progress” while a lead Ukrainian negotiator said Moscow’s delegation had
stopped issuing “ultimatums” and instead “carefully listens to our positions”.
