March 11 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday there had been some progress in Moscow's talks with Ukraine, but provided no details.

"There are certain positive shifts, negotiators on our side tell me," Putin said in a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko, adding that talks continued "practically on a daily basis".

Putin did not elaborate, but said in the televised remarks that he would go into more detail with Lukashenko.

As the Russian offensive in Ukraine continued, Kira Rudik, a former chief operating officer of the local branch of Amazon's Ring, said she was armed to resist an invasion in the country's capital.

The 36-year-old Ukrainian is currently a leader of a political party called Voice and has been a member of the country's parliament since 2019.


On Friday, Rudik told CNN that she was in the Ukrainian capital city of Kyiv. "We have been given Kalashnikovs and we will be able to resist if Russian forces come to Kyiv. I don't know if you can hear but there are strikes happening behind me and I can feel the glass trembling a little bit."

"It is my duty to be here. I am armed and my crew is armed," she added.

Posing with a gun, the Ukrainian MP later tweeted: "I learn to use #Kalashnikov and prepare to bear arms. It sounds surreal as just a few days ago it would never come to my mind. Our #women will protect our soil the same way as our #men. Go #Ukraine!"


"You can shoot us, but you can not have us."

Russia at risk of default within days​

Russia is facing effective bankruptcy as soon as Wednesday after the World Bank warned that crippling sanctions have left the Kremlin “mighty close” to a default on its foreign debts.

Carmen Reinhart, chief economist at the World Bank, said that Russia and Belarus are now in “square default territory”, with payments on about $40bn of Moscow’s external bonds at risk.

Analysts fear the country will fail to make a $117m (£89m) coupon payment on a sovereign eurobond next week. It will have a 30-day grace period to pay up, but may be deemed to have defaulted if it attempts to pay in roubles.

Foreign investors hold about half of Russia’s currency-linked bonds, leaving banks that bought debt from Moscow potentially exposed to multi-billion-dollar losses as a result. France is most at risk, with $4.5bn of Russian government bonds held by the country's lenders.
