KYIV. March 14 (Interfax-Ukraine) - The Ukrainian delegation's positions before the fourth round of negotiations with Russian representatives on Monday remain unchanged, and Kyiv will demand above all a ceasefire and the withdrawal of all Russian forces from Ukrainian territory, Mykhailo Podolyak, advisor to the Ukrainian presidential office chief, said on Monday.

"The fourth round of negotiations with the Russian delegation is to begin literally within a few minutes," Podolyak said in a video address.

"Our positions are unchanged: peace, an immediate ceasefire, and the withdrawal of all Russian troops. Only then will we be able to talk about any neighborly relations and political settlements," Podolyak said.
