Russia says it's 'ready' for new talks with Ukraine
A Russian delegation will be sent to an undisclosed location to await a possible second round of talks with Ukraine on Wednesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"Our delegation will be waiting for the Ukrainian negotiators on-site this afternoon, closer to the evening," Peskov told reporters Wednesday, noting that he would not be revealing the location for now.
"We can try to predict whether Ukrainian negotiators will show up or not. Let's hope this happens," he added. "Our [negotiators] will be there and ready."

The head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, has said that they would be on the Belarus-Poland border but there's been no confirmation of that location.
Ukraine has not yet confirmed that it will take part in the talks with Russia on Wednesday. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said earlier that his country was ready to negotiate but that Russia had not changed its position and was still issuing ultimatums.
Wednesday's talks would follow a meeting between both sides near the Belarus-Ukraine border on Monday that failed to reach a breakthrough.
