RUSSIA AND UKRAINE FOREIGN MINISTERS HOLD TALK AMIDST CRISIS

The foreign ministers of Russia and Ukraine are holding talks in Turkey, as Moscow’s invasion of its neighbour enters its third week.

Foreign minister of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba said his expectations were “limited” ahead of the face-to-face meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov.

It comes after Ukraine accused Russia of bombing a children’s hospital, calling it a “war crime”, while officials say three people including a child died in the attack in Mariupol.

Meanwhile Ukraine’s deputy prime minister said seven evacuation routes, including routes out of Mariupol and Sumy – would open today.
