A number of European news sources are reporting an agreement that hopefully will be honored and reduce the number of deaths in Ukraine. This is from Deutsche Welle (or dw.com). One item that stands out is the agreement to arrange humanitarian corridors so that Ukrainians leaving the major cities will have a ceasefire and a designated route to leave. See more at the source, but I’ve chosen a sample here:
Agreement on humanitarian corridors
The Ukrainian and Russian negotiators at talks in Belarus say the two sides have agreed on provisions for a number of humanitarian issues.
The understanding involves a temporary cease-fire to allow the evacuation of citizens and the delivery of aid to areas where fierce fighting has been taking place.

"To our great regret, we did not get the results we were counting on," Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said. According to Belarusian news agency Belta, Podolyak said a third round of talks will take place at the beginning of next week.
Podolyak said cease-fires will only take place in designated humanitarian corridor areas.
I’ve also seen this at the Austrian news source osf.at, but that is in German (it loads
faster for me)..

American sources will also likely pick this up soon.
