Ukrainian and Russian delegations met yesterday...
Ukrainian and Russian delegations met yesterday at the Belarusian border, the first direct talks since Russia's invasion of Ukraine last week. No agreement was met, though both sides reportedly agreed to continue talks.
Russia continued its assault on major cities, including extensive shelling on Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city. Officials have confirmed more than 100 civilian deaths across the country since fighting began six days ago, though the figure is likely higher. By yesterday, satellite images suggested a 40-mile-long Russian convoy was less than 15 miles from the center of the capital of Kyiv.
Analysts say sanctions have begun to hit the Russian economy. About half of the country's central bank's foreign assets have been frozen, with the bank raising benchmark interest rates to 20%. The value of the ruble fell almost 30%, dropping below $0.01, as Russian citizens flocked to ATMs to withdraw cash. The country's stock exchanges will be closed for a second consecutive day today.
