Earlier in a statement from the Ukrainian presidency, Yermak said a simple cease-fire wouldn't end Russia's "aggression” on Ukraine: “It’s definitely not the path to peace. “Peace is something that Ukraine needs,” he said during a break in the talks Sunday. He said that the purpose of the talks was to get ready for the moment when Russia might join a peace discussion. He said that neither Ukraine nor Russia was ready to make territorial concessions. “The war is far from over and peace is still nowhere in sight," the Swiss department of foreign affairs said in a statement previewing Sunday's talks.
