'Several long conversations' held between Russia and Ukraine today - Moscow
Russia's chief negotiator has claimed "several long conversations" took place with the head of Ukraine's delegation on Friday.
Vladimir Medinsky gave no details of these lengthy talks, thought to be held in a bid to negotiate a ceasefire after weeks of war.
Earlier this week, the Kremlin said Russia had submitted a new written proposal for peace, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had neither seen nor heard about it.
Several rounds of peace talks have been held between Moscow and Kyiv so far, but the two sides have yet to agree the conditions for a ceasefire.
