The third round of talks between Russia and Ukraine took place on Monday.
So far, Russian and Ukrainian negotiators have failed to reach a common ground and achieve a permanent ceasefire in the last three rounds of peace talks.
Mykhailo Podolyak, a member of the Ukrainian delegation, said that there was some minor progress in improving the logistics of humanitarian corridors in Ukraine during the latest peace talks.
Podolyak, who is also an advisor to the head of Volodymyr Zelenskyy`s office, said intensive consultations continued on the main political block of the settlement along with a ceasefire and security guarantees.
"The third round of negotiations has ended. There are small positive subductions in improving the logistics of humanitarian corridors... Intensive consultations have continued on the basic political block of the regulations, along with a ceasefire and security guarantees," Podolyak tweeted.
On February 24, Russia launched a military operation on Ukraine that it dubs as retaliation in response to the calls from Donetsk and Luhansk people`s republics to defend themselves against intensifying attacks by Ukrainian troops.
So far, over 1.7 million people have fled Ukraine amid constant shelling and bombarding.
