Is there any confirmation that it includes the ambassador? That would be serious

As we've been reporting, Russia has said it will "drastically reduce" attacks around Kyiv and the northern city of Chernihiv.

Now, a US official has told the BBC that some Russian forces are moving away from the Ukrainian capital.

"Yes, we have seen the Russians begin to draw away from Kyiv," said the official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity.

"But we have little confidence at this stage that it marks some significant shift or a meaningful retreat. The Russians are still pounding Kyiv with airstrikes. Time will tell."

The hallmarks of a tactical retreat rather than any form of ceasefire - keep pounding the Ukranians to keep their heads down so they can pull out.

It must be a difficult situation for Ukraine: to some extent, it's a reduction in threat and they must negotiate, but they can't bargain away to just reduce attacks.

If the Russians are still attacking in the region, they should be a legitimate target. They can't even afford to move troops from the north to bolster the Donbas.

Answering my own question it seems not. But four senior officials.

Exactly, you cannot claim to be withdrawing but continue attacking in the hope of not getting attacked in return. If you are shelling Kiev, you are fair game, no matter what you claim to be doing

This I do agree with. Will hw relinquish the nuclear facilities under Russian control though?

I think he’ll deffo give back Chernobyl - who would want that thing.

Not sure about the site in the south though. Maybe not

The other nuclear power plants all seem to be located in the west.

Who, most likely, are spies

Who, most likely, are spies

But wtf are they spying on. We pose no military threat to anyone ? Our armed forces such as they are spend their time in UN peacekeeping and saving refugees from their dinghies.

I worked with our Foreign Minister when he was in Agriculture and I have great respect for him. Clearly something serious has come to light.

Under the pseudonym of military attachés.

You’d be surprised. There are spies all over. Many moons ago, after grad school, I was recruited by two intelligence agencies. After reflection, I decided not to take either offer, but it was interesting to hear about where I could possibly have been placed.
