Ukrainian representatives at the talks with Russia on a possible end of the war have described the first day of negotiations as "substantive and productive". Newshour hears from injured Ukrainian soldiers and gauges public opinion inside the country. Also in the programme: the New START nuclear treaty expires; and iguanas on the menu in Miami.
