The prospect of talks between Russia and Ukraine was cast into doubt as the Kremlin said Kyiv had stopped responding after rejecting Moscow’s initial offer of a meeting in Minsk, the capital of Belarus. Ukraine wanted a meeting instead in the Polish capital, Warsaw, the Kremlin said, adding it had heard nothing further. There was no immediate word from Ukraine on the Russian comments. The diplomatic to and fro comes as fighting continues on the ground with Russian forces moving toward the capital. Any talks would likely struggle to find common ground on the question of “neutrality” for Ukraine, which has sought to join NATO and draw closer to Europe. Russia has also accused Kyiv of wanting to forcibly retake two breakaway areas in Ukraine’s east, something the government has repeatedly denied.
