Russia & Ukraine Have Come Closer To Agreement, Says Russian Delegation

Russia and Ukraine have come closer to an agreement, according to Vladimir Medinsky, head of the Russian negotiators. Medinsky stated that Russia and Ukraine are "half-way" there, in "demilitarizing" Ukraine. Reportedly, the issue has been narrowed down to Ukraine dropping its bid from joining NATO. "The issue of neutral status and no NATA membership for Ukraine is one of the key issues in talks," said Medinsky.
