CBS News - On the upcoming negotiations on Ukraine: There is cautious optimism, but no reason to count on a breakthrough just yet. Today Kirill Budanov told me that he will lead the Ukrainian delegation in negotiations in Abu Dhabi next week. He already led the Ukrainian delegation during the first negotiations in February. He said he did not expect significant progress. At the same time, the very fact that the Ukrainian and Russian delegations agreed to meet in person, at the same table, can already be considered a certain progress.
