Ukraine: Putin not seen ready to compromise ahead of peace talks
LVIV/KHARKIV, Ukraine, March 28 (Reuters) - Ukraine and Russia were preparing on Monday for the first face-to-face peace talks in more than two weeks, but a senior U.S. official said Russian President Vladimir Putin did not appear ready to make compromises to end the war.
Ukraine's foreign minister said a ceasefire was the most his country could hope for from the talks, due to be held in Istanbul on Tuesday after Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan spoke to Russia's Vladimir Putin on Sunday.
"We are not trading people, land or sovereignty," Dmytro Kuleba said.
