[Archyde.com]-Russian President Vladimir Putin said on the 11th that some progress had been made in the Ukrainian talks.
In a meeting with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Putin pointed out that Western sanctions would not hinder Russia’s development and that Russia would eventually become stronger. Negotiations with Ukraine take place virtually every day, “reports from negotiators show some positive changes,” he said.
A spokesman for Cheong Wa Dae, Peskov, said the conflict would end if the West took steps to respond to Russia’s concerns over the killing of civilians in eastern Ukraine and the eastern expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
