A Ukrainian and a Russian delegation held talks in Belarus for the third time. The talks brought little concrete results, but they want to start another attempt with humanitarian corridors on Tuesday.
The most important of the day at a glance:
- Russia threatens open with a gas supply stop through the Baltic Sea pipeline Nord Stream 1. “We have the full right to make a ‘mirror-fair’ decision and to issue an embargo on the passage of gas through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which is currently 100 percent utilized,” said Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Nowak on state television. With regard to the stopped Nord Stream 2 line, which Russia is striving to put into operation, he said: “But we are not making this decision yet.”
- A Ukrainian and a Russian delegation held negotiations in Belarus for the third time today. The talks yielded hardly any concrete results. But we want to continue negotiating. And Russia has once more announced the establishment of several humanitarian corridors in Ukraine.
- In Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mariupol, Chernihiv and Sumy Local ceasefires should therefore apply on Tuesday from 10:00 a.m. (08:00 a.m. CET). Civilians should be able to escape from the embattled cities. All five cities were recently under heavy fire. Actually, there should have been a ceasefire on Monday, but hardly any people escaped from the encircled towns. Both sides accused each other of violating an agreed ceasefire.
