Quote: "Mariupol may become a red line," said the Ukrainian Foreign Minister.
Dmytro Kuleba noted that there had been virtually no contact between the two countries at the Foreign Ministry level in recent weeks.
"The only level of contact is the negotiating team, which includes representatives of various institutions and members of parliament. They continue consultations at the expert level, but there is no high-level contact," said Dmytro Kuleba.
British intelligence reports that the persistent resistance of Mariupol creates problems for the Russian Federation on other fronts by forcing the refocusing of troops and effort to the city.
