Moscow and Kyiv are "halfway there" in agreeing on the issue of Ukraine's demilitarisation, and their views are most aligned on Ukraine's neutrality and giving up on joining NATO, Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky was quoted as saying on Friday.
Interfax news agency quoted Medinsky as saying negotiating teams trying to agree on ending hostilities in Ukraine were discussing nuances of security guarantees should Ukraine no longer attempt to join the Western military alliance.
He declined to reveal any other details of the talks.

Ukraine and Russia are NOT aligned on Russia's demand for Ukraine to reduce post-war troop levels to only 24,000 Ukrainian troops.
Pray for peace.
Right?
Peace is coming. What are War KooKs going to talk about when the Ukraine is over?
It would be national suicide for Ukraine to agree to ANY reduction in its military forces. Ukraine should counter with: We’ll reduce our military proportionate to your reducing your nuclear weapons, with unimpeachable international verification.
We or a big NATO member should be at the negotiating table to try to provide a broader security arrangement, plus the Russians have to talk to us to get sanctions lifted and the $300 billion in seized Russian assets.
The big danger is that Putin withdraws to lick his wounds and tries again later.
Russian is using weasal words to save face. NO NATO but Ukraine will armed to the teeth. No “foreign arms”, because they will be owned by the Ukrainians.
This news sucks. Who the hell am I going to blame high gas prices and inflation on?
Russia is telling Ukraine "Surrender your weapons and reduce your troop count and we'll go home.....for a month....."
Fauci has suddenly reappeared and he’s talking about the new “stealth variant” of Covid. Coincidence?
Anything but the invasion of the USA that is ongoing.

“Ukraine and Russia are NOT aligned on Russia’s demand for Ukraine to reduce post-war troop levels to only 24,000 Ukrainian troops. “
But they are aligned on Ukraine’s conditional surrender.
As each day passes Ukraine loses leverage. Contrary to the fantastic BS in the media.
They need a deal. There is no rescue cavalry coming.
Russia needs a deal, too. So does China and the U.S.
IT will be back to COVID. Or maybe an energy crisis. Unless there is another exploitable crisis I missed?Climate change will still be in the mix (it never really went away). But there will always be another crisis, as long as we allow more government power in a crisis.
So far I seeing about a 95-5% split around here with the Putin bots relentlessly pushing their Chamberlain style appeasement dogmas
So glad we spent all that time, blood and treasure winning the Cold War so the gutless coward choir on the Alex Jones right could piss it away.
What ever are you going to do once this ends and you no longer have Putin propaganda to push here daily?
“What are War KooKs going to talk about when the Ukraine is over?”
Then they can go back to focusing on the lynching issue.
You cannot blame a talking head for the rapid decline in US military/nuclear superiority.
Your enemy lies elsewhere.
The collapse of our Southern border, and all things to relate to America. Try it sometime.
