Russian and Ukrainian delegations met in Istanbul, where Ukraine presented proposals for neutrality backed by international security guarantees. Russia's deputy defence minister Alexander Fomin said Russia would drastically reduce military activity near Kyiv and Chernihiv to increase trust. Ukrainian officials said the signals were positive but would be judged by results, and the US and UK voiced scepticism. It was the most substantive round of talks in the period.
