Ukrainian presidential adviser and peace talks negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak said in an interview with news website LB.ua, published on Monday, that Ukraine is negotiating with Russia on humanitarian issues but political and diplomatic talks have been suspended.

"The negotiation process has been suspended today in the political and diplomatic part. It is working in the humanitarian part, because there is an exchange of prisoners, there are humanitarian corridors, attempts to evacuate our people," Podolyak said.
