"Russian and Ukrainian negotiators will continue talks on the situation in Ukraine later on Thursday," Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters,  TASS reports. 

According to him, talks "are expected [to continue] today." "I don’t know if they are already underway but they are expected [to take place] on various tracks," Peskov said. He noted that the negotiation process involved various working groups. "But contacts are expected to be held today," Peskov added.

He also emphasized that Ukraine was not showing much enthusiasm for non-stop talks with Russia. "Our delegation, led by [Presidential Aide Vladimir] Medinsky, maintains contact with experts and government agencies, it’s ready to work around the clock, it has made its willingness clear.
