U.S. and European officials have begun talks with Ukraine about what possible peace negotiations with Russia might entail to end the conflict, according to one current and one former high-ranking U.S. official, the U.S. network NBC reports. The talks are reported to have included very broad outlines of what Ukraine might need to give up to reach a deal, the officials said.
