LONDON A split appeared to be opening this week among Ukraine's supporters over whether its government should sit down for peace talks with Russia.
Some U.S. political and military officials have questioned whether the war could ever be concluded through force, with diplomatic talks the inevitable outcome.
But senior figures in Ukraine and in neighboring countries in Eastern Europe and central Europe who were once part of a wider Russian empire under the then-Soviet Union have rejected the idea that Kyiv should sit down and talk terms with Moscow.
We shouldnt be in a position where we dictate to Ukraine with other conditions for peace, if they are fighting for their own survival, Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský was quoted as saying in an interview with The Guardian on Friday.
