Macron's talks in Kyiv after a visit to Moscow

French President Emmanuel Macron visited Kyiv after six hours of talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. His conversation with President Volodymyr Zelensky lasted less than an hour, after which Macron said at a press conference that Moscow and Kyiv were committed to implementing the MINSK agreements. The French President also described the steps that will help get rid of different interpretations of the agreements signed in February 2015 on the Russian and Ukrainian sides. At the same time, he called the Minsk agreements a guarantee of the territorial integrity of Ukraine.

At a joint press conference of the two presidents in Kyiv, Zelensky responded to Putin's remark about the need to comply with the Minsk agreements: "Like it, don't like it - be patient, my beauty." According to Zelensky, Putin told the truth about the beautiful Ukraine, and Zelensky considered the definition of “mine” in the mouth of the President of Russia to be “too much”.

Russia at the Olympics took three bronze and missed the gold

The first bronze was brought by two-time Sochi Olympic champion Vic Wild, who has been in the shadows for the past few years and is already thinking about ending his career. He was able to get into the consolation final in snowboarding and win the match against the Italian. Third place in the ski sprint was taken by Alexander Terentiev. He confidently made it to the final and lost only to the two main favorites - the Norwegian Klebo and the Italian Pellegrino. Tatyana Ivanova won the bronze medal for the first time in the history of Russian luge.

The disappointment of the day was the biathletes' individual race. Maxim Tsvetkov and Alexander Loginov claimed gold until the last firing line. But Tsvetkov missed the last shot, and he did not have enough speed to catch on to the bronze. Loginov, on the last frontier, missed twice and eventually lagged behind the top three by more than a minute.
