Ukraine's neutral status, and its non-NATO membership are issues on which Moscow and Kiev are converging more in their negotiating positions, the head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, argued on Friday.

Negotiation status. The statements of the Russian side are only their requesting positions. All statements are intended, inter alia, to provoke tension in the media. Our positions are unchanged. Ceasefire, withdrawal of troops & strong security guarantees with concrete formulas.
