Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday that Ukraine had shown a "complete unwillingness" to continue negotiations on a peace deal.
On Tuesday, Ukrainian negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak issued a statement saying peace talks were "on hold."
Peskov added that Azovstal fighters must lay down their arms and surrender if they wanted to exit the steel plant in Mariupol.
