A push to agree to a new ceasefire in eastern Ukraine has broken down after Moscow rejected a series of proposals from Kiev
Ukraine accuses Russia of massing tens of thousands of troops in preparation for a possible large scale military offensive.
Ukraine said late on Thursday that Moscow had rejected a series of its proposals, including prisoner swaps, reopening a checkpoint and expanding a joint communications centre. Moscow singled out a proposal to add Germany and France to the Joint Centre for Control and Coordination, a group tasked with implementing ceasefire agreements.READ MORE:Russia on Thursday kept up a barrage of hostile rhetoric towards Ukraine and compared the crisis there to the most dangerous moment of the Cold War as it waited for US President Joe Biden to invite it to possible talks with NATO countries.
