Russia announced the launch of a “special military operation” in Ukraine on February 24. Since then, many rounds of negotiations have taken place, but the two sides have not come to an agreement to end the conflict.
Before the April talks, Russia announced the withdrawal of its troops from the area near Kiev and shifted its focus to the east.
