(Picture: AP)Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine offer a glimmer of hope as this war approaches its third week. Representatives from both sides suggest that negotiations, which remain ongoing, may yield progress. Ukrainians fleeing for their lives, and ordinary Russians seeing their economy suffocate under crippling sanctions, must hope so.
Yet while talks progress, Russia’s invasion is widening in scope. Over the weekend, it attacked areas in the west of Ukraine, including an army base near the border with Poland — Nato territory.
