Third round of Russian-Ukrainian talks begins

MOSCOW. March 7 (Interfax) - The third round of the talks between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations has begun in Belarus.

"Russia and Ukraine have begun the third round of the talks," a correspondent said on SolovievLive.

The parties are expected to discuss three groups of issues in the meeting: internal political settlement, international-humanitarian aspects, and military settlement issues.

The first round of the talks was held in Belarus on February 28.

Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, earlier said members of the delegations would not state the proposed conditions before "common positions" were agreed upon.
