Russia's deputy defense minister said Moscow would "drastically" reduce its military presence near Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, as Russian and Ukrainian delegations met in Istanbul on Tuesday for a fresh round of peace talks.
Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin made the announcement in an on-camera statement from Istanbul broadcast on Russia-24, saying Moscow would also reduce its military presence in the direction of Chernihiv, north of Kyiv. The development suggested some progress may have been made during the day's negotiations.
