MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Russian military said on Wednesday that talks to try to peacefully resolve the situation in Syria's Eastern Ghouta had broken down and that rebels there had ignored calls to cease resistance and lay down their arms.

Russia spelled out its view of the situation after residents in eastern Ghouta said they were waiting their "turn to die", amid one of the most intense bombardments of the war by pro-government forces on the besieged, rebel-held enclave near Damascus.
