KYIV, March 16 ― Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video address released early today that the positions of Ukraine and Russia at peace talks were sounding more realistic but more time was needed.

"The meetings continue, and, I am informed, the positions during the negotiations already sound more realistic. But time is still needed for the decisions to be in the interests of Ukraine,” said Zelensky. ― Reuters
