Ukraine marks Independence Day as Vance says Russia has made " significant concessions"

Vance, who was present at Monday's meeting, told "Meet the Press" on Sunday that "we are trying to negotiate as much as we can with both the Russians and the Ukrainians to find a middle ground to stop the killing." In the letter, Leo assured his prayers for all Ukrainians who are suffering and wrote: "I implore the Lord to move the hearts of people of good will, that the clamor of arms may fall silent and give way to dialogue, opening the path to peace for the good of all." The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine's Defense Ministry said Sunday that Ukraine had taken back control of the village of Novomykhailivka, also in the Donetsk region.
