Ukraine

This is the newsworthy bit:

He [Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov] told Kommersant “it’s entirely possible that there won’t be any troops (in the Donbas), either Russian or Ukrainian” in a postwar scenario. But he said that “there will be the National Guard, our police, everything necessary to maintain order and organize life.”

This is the very first time that the Kremlin recedes a hairbredth from the maximalist demands they started the war with and reiterated every single time there was an attempt to negotiate. Thix is especially newsworthy when you put it in the context of the recent Ukrainian proposal to demilitarize Donbas and to put it under international control lead by the US. They basically agreed on the demilitarization part and did not outright say нет to the international control.
