Ukraine demands an immediate Russian ceasefire and troop withdrawal as a Kyiv delegation arrives for talks with Russian negotiators on the fifth day of the Kremlin’s offensive against the country.

“The Ukrainian delegation arrived at the Ukrainian-Belarusian border to take part in talks with representatives of the Russian Federation,” the Ukrainian presidency says in a statement.

“The key issue of the talks is an immediate ceasefire and the withdrawal of troops from Ukraine,” the presidency says.
