MOSCOW (Reuters) - Talks on how to resolve a conflict in Ukraine will focus on withdrawing heavy weapons, creating a demilitarised zone in eastern Ukraine and starting a dialogue between Kiev and the rebels, Russia's RIA news agency quoted a source as saying on Tuesday.

The leaders of France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine are due to meet in the Belarussian capital Minsk on Wednesday to try to end almost a year of fighting between Ukrainian troops and pro-Russian separatists in which more than 5,000 people have died.
