Russia to 'cut back operations' near Kyiv, government minister says
Russia's deputy defence minister has announced that Moscow has decided to "fundamentally cut back" operations near Kyiv. The Ukrainian capital and the city of Chernihiv will no longer be the core focus of Russian operations as the nation attempts to "increase mutual trust" in talks aimed at ending the fighting, he said.
