\n
President Vladimir Putin of Russia has said his country is open to negotiations with Ukraine but will never accept \u201cany schemes that have nothing to do with reality\u201d.<\/p>\n
Putin made the remark while mocking the scheduled round of Ukraine peace talks in Switzerland, warning that Moscow will not accept any enforced plans that ignore its interests.<\/p>\n
Switzerland\u2019s government had announced plans to hold a high-level international conference in June to help chart a path toward peace in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
But Putin said a peace process can\u2019t happen without Russia.<\/p>\n
Speaking with Belarusian President, Alexander Lukashenko in Moscow, Putin said: \u201cThey aren\u2019t inviting us there.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoreover, they think there is nothing for us to do there, but at the same time they say that\u2019s it\u2019s impossible to decide anything without us. It would have been funny if it weren\u2019t so sad.\u201d<\/p>\n
