MOSCOW, April 27 — There are currently no grounds for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine due to Kyiv’s formal refusal to negotiate with Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said today.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy signed a decree in 2022 formally declaring the prospect of any Ukrainian talks with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin "impossible”, while leaving the door open to talks with what he called "another president of Russia.” — Reuters
