KYIV: A day after Russia said it would scale back military operations near Kyiv and Chernihiv in the north, Ukraine officials have reported shelling around both cities. Kyiv deputy mayor Mykola Povoroznyk said the capital itself had not been attacked but gunfire had been reported from the suburbs. Chernihiv governor Viacheslav Chaus scoffed at Moscow s promises and said he saw no let up in Russian attacks; ... all night long they hit Chernihiv, he said. Do we believe it the promise to reduce military activities Of course not, Chaus wrote on Telegram, The decreased activity in the Chernihiv region was demonstrated by the enemy carrying out strikes on Nizhyn, including air strikes... all night long they hit Chernihiv. Russian negotiators said Tuesday Moscow would radically reduce military activity in northern Ukraine, including near the capital Kyiv, after meaningful peace talks in Turkey.Negotiators said Russia would fundamentally cut back military activity in the direction of Kyiv and Chernihiv to increase mutual trust and create conditions for further negotiations .
