Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed caution about Russia's promise to sharply curtail military action in some areas and said Ukraine would not be easing off its defensive efforts.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday said the signals from peace talks with Russia could be called positive but added that they did not drown out the explosions from Russian shells.
In a late night address, Zelensky also expressed caution about Russia's promise to sharply curtail military action in some areas and said Ukraine would not be easing off its defensive efforts.
Russia and Ukraine have been holding peace negotiations in an Istanbul palace. Zelensky said Kyiv saw no reason to believe in words from some Russian representatives.
"We can say the signals we are receiving from the talks are positive but they do not drown out the explosions of Russian shells," he said, adding that Ukraine could only trust a concrete result from the talks.
