Negotiators refused to discuss a plan for an immediate ceasefire

KIEV (AFP) - Peace talks to thrash out a truce agreement between pro-Russian rebels and Ukraine ended without a deal Saturday, Kiev s representatives at the talks in Minsk said.

Former Ukrainian president Leonid Kuchma told Interfax Ukraine news agency that the summit had "broken up in failure" after top rebel leaders stayed away and their negotiators refused to discuss a plan for an immediate ceasefire.
