Ukraine accuses Russia of undermining next round of peace talks2 days ago Share Save Jaroslav Lukiv & Rachel Hagan BBC News Share SaveGetty ImagesUkraine's president has questioned Russia's commitment to progressing peace talks after Moscow confirmed it was sending a team to talks in Istanbul on Monday. Russia is yet to send its negotiating proposals to Ukraine - a key demand by Kyiv. Ukraine had sent its proposals to Russia, reaffirming "readiness for a full and unconditional ceasefire". The first round of talks two weeks ago in Istanbul brought no breakthrough, but achieved a prisoner of war swap. As the talks approached, both Russia and Ukraine reported explosions on Friday night and in the early hours of Saturday morning.
