Sputnik\/Mikhail Klimentyev\/Kremlin via REUTERS\/File Photo<\/div>\n<p>March 28, 2022<\/p>\n<p>By Arshad Mohammed and Jonathan Landay<\/p>\n<p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Russian President Vladimir Putin does not appear ready to make compromises to end the war in Ukraine, a senior U.S. official said on Monday as Ukraine and Russia were preparing for their  first face-to-face peace talks in more than two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything I have seen is he is not willing to compromise at this point,\u201d the senior U.S. State Department official told Reuters on condition of anonymity after Ukraine\u2019s president sketched out a potential way to end the crisis over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, how far we go in trying to offer him off-ramps that undercut the sovereignty of Ukraine and the decisions that (Ukrainian) President (Volodymyr) Zelinskiy would have to make, I don\u2019t have a good insight for you,\u201d the U.S. official said.<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian officials played down the chances of a major breakthrough at the talks, due to be held in Istanbul after Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan spoke to Putin on Sunday. <\/p>\n<p>Ukraine is ready to discuss adopting a neutral status as part of a peace deal with Russia but such a pact would have to be guaranteed by third parties and put to a referendum, Zelenskiy said in remarks aired on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Russian journalists in a 90-minute video call more than a month after Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, an interview that Moscow authorities preemptively warned Russian media to refrain from reporting, Zelenskiy said no peace deal would be possible without a ceasefire and troop withdrawals.<\/p>\n<p>He ruled out trying to recapture all Russian-held territory by force, saying it would lead to a third world war, and said he wanted to reach a \u201ccompromise\u201d over the eastern Donbas region, held by Russian-backed forces since 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Russia says it is conducting a \u201cspecial military operation\u201d in Ukraine with the aim of demilitarizing its neighbor. Ukraine and its Western allies call this a pretext for an unprovoked invasion.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting By Arshad Mohammed and Jonathan Landay; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama and Howard Goller)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE PHOTO: Russian President Vladimir Putin attends a meeting with government members via a video link at the Novo-Ogaryovo state residence outside Moscow, Russia March 23, 2022.
