"The second round of negotiations is over. Unfortunately, the results Ukraine needs are not yet achieved," Ukraine's presidential adviser, Mykhailo Podolyak, tweeted following the meeting.

However, Russia has struck its stand that any peace agreement with Ukraine achieved only Ukraine forces let down its arms. Russia has also signaled it wants to discuss Ukraine if it adopts a stand of neutral status and drops its desire to join North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO)

In the midst of peace talks, Russian missiles hit the many parts of Ukraine and it has captured Kherson, the southern city of Ukraine, and continued rocket attacks on Kharkiv and Kyiv.

On the other hand during peace talks, Ukraine insisted on an immediate cease-fire and Russia withdraw its forces from Ukraine.
