Russia-Ukraine war: Kremlin claims Kyiv pulled out of peace talks last year ‘at Britain’s insistence’ – as it happened

The Guardian

Spokesperson for the Russian government claims UK ‘forbade’ negotiations with Russia.

The Kremlin has said there is no current basis for talks between Russia and Ukraine as none of the prerequisites are in place, Reuters reports.

The Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, said Ukraine withdrew from the negotiation process in 2022 “at Britain’s insistence” and the UK “forbade” negotiations with Russia.

Ukraine says peace can only based on a full Russian withdrawal from all the territory it has seized since the war began in February 2022.
