The heads of Russian and Ukrainian diplomacy failed Thursday to agree in Turkey on a ceasefire in Ukraine during their first meeting since the start of the Russian invasion, the day following the bombing of a children’s hospital in the besieged city of Mariupol who killed three people, including a little girl.
Russian Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ukrainian Dmytro Kuleba stuck to their guns during this meeting, the first at this level since February 24, under the auspices of their Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu in Antalya (south), a popular seaside resort for Russian tourists.
