Russia-Ukraine talks to resume; Kremlin calls Biden remarks 'alarming'

  Ukraine and Russia were preparing on Monday for the first face-to-face peace talks in more than two weeks, with Kyiv insisting it would make no concessions on ceding territory as battlefield momentum has shifted in its favour.
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 Russia's Vladimir Putin on Sunday.
But the fact that they were taking place in person at all -- for the first time since an acrimonious meeting between foreign ministers on March 10 -- was a sign of shifts behind the scenes as Russia's invasion has become bogged down.
On the ground, there was no sign of respite for civilians in besieged cities, especially the devastated port of Mariupol, whose mayor said 1,60,000 people were still trapped inside and Russia was blocking attempts to evacuate them.
The Kremlin, for its part, said it was alarmed by comments by US President Joe Biden, who said during a speech on Saturday that President Vladimir Putin must not remain in power.
Russia and Ukraine said their delegations would arrive in Turkey on Monday, with the talks expected to start on Tuesday.
Ukrainian officials have recently suggested Russia could now be more willing to compromise, as any hope it may have held of imposing a new government on Kyiv slipped away in the face of stiff Ukrainian resistance and heavy Russian losses.
