Ukrainian and Russian delegations prepare for peace talks

Officials from Ukraine and Russia are meeting in Turkey today for the countries' first face to face talks in more than two weeks, though both sides have downplayed the likelihood of a breakthrough.

Meanwhile, there are reports that Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich and other Ukrainian officials were poisoned, when they attended previous peace talks last month.

And a report from the Black Sea port of Odessa, which despite its strategic importance has so far remained largely unscathed.
