Kyiv March 14 2022: Expectations have been raised a notch ahead of renewed dialogue between the two countries.

Mykhailo Podolyak, Ukraine’s negotiator and adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky, confirmed the Kremlin’s statement.
In a video posted on social media, Podolyak said Russia was beginning to engage constructively.
He added: “Russia now much more adequately perceives the world around it. It is much more sensitive to the position of Ukraine, which has been proven in battlefields, and in Ukraine’s actions in terms of protecting its interests.”
