FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Alongside positive comments around the state of negotiations, last week Russia withdrew forces from around Kyiv to redeploy within the disputed regions in the east of Ukraine. The US has authorised Ukraine to offer the removal of sanctions as part of the negotiating process as the two sides look towards a ceasefire and longer-term political settlement. Over the weekend, the EU and US condemned evidence of war crimes as Ukrainian forces retook territory after the Russian withdrawal. The EU are said to be reconsidering Russian energy import sanctions however there still appears to be a lack of unity on this point. If negotiations do not bear fruit in relatively short order, the path of travel is for a continued tightening of economic sanctions on Russia.
