Ground Report | New Delhi: Russia Ukraine talks; Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says Russia is ready for talks with Ukraine in Minsk, the capital of Belarus. According to Russia's state news agency RIA Novosti, the spokesman says that these talks will be about declaring Ukraine "neutral status", as well as reducing the army.
Russia wants Ukraine not to join NATO. Even when Russia was in talks with America and other Western countries regarding the Ukraine crisis, Russia's main demand was that Ukraine should not be included in NATO.
