Ukraine Peace Talks Still Continuing


WNU Editor: The Telegraph has just stopped their live updates, but RT is still providing live coverage.

'Normandy 4' Ukraine peace talks in Minsk LIVE UPDATES -- RT
Ukraine crisis: Minsk peace talks - as it happened -- The Telegraph

RT has a live camera at the conference center. That link is here.

I was once in a trade delegation where we had to negotiate with a Chinese group on a business deal ... those talks lasted for almost 10 hours. I was young then .... but I was completely exhausted at the end. But as tough as that experience was .... it is nothing when compared to the talks that are occurring  right now in Minsk .... these four leaders are literally talking about millions of lives being directly impacted if these talks should fail. The pressure and tension in that room must be incredible.

Update: from France 24 ....

The leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France will sign a document following all-night talks in Minsk on solving the Ukraine conflict, a diplomatic source told Reuters on Thursday.

The source would not provide details of the nature of the document.


Update #2: From RT ....

The peace agreement is 80 percent ready, with wording for the rest of the document still under negotiation, a source told RIA Novosti. The draft has more than 10 points, it added.

WNU,: For Germany and France it's an agreement for the sake of saying we have an agreement. For Putin it's victory. For Poroshenko it's over.

WNU,
Ten hours of negotiating with the Chinese, did you check and see if you still had pants when you left?
