Germany's foreign minister pressed for progress on a year-old peace plan for eastern Ukraine as he met Saturday with senior officials from Russia, Ukraine and France, saying he hopes that Moscow and Kiev realize that they don't have forever to implement the deal.

After the effort in Munich to push forward diplomatic efforts, Russia's prime minister and Ukraine's president exchanged accusations at a security conference in the city — underlining the depth of distrust between the two sides and the hurdles diplomats face.
