ISTANBUL: Ukraine and Russia failed to clinch a cease-fire in talks that ended in Turkey on Tuesday, with Moscow saying it will reduce military operations in areas where its forces are being pushed back and Kyiv calling for security guarantees from members of the European Union (EU) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato).
Ukraine’s negotiators said that they were seeking security guarantees for areas outside of Russian-controlled Crimea and separatist-held territories.
