Russian officials said the discussions had not brought peace any closer, although it was also no further away. However, the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, says some progress has been made. Meanwhile Russian forces continue to advance in the Donbas region in the east of Ukraine. We hear from an active serviceman in the region.
