Ukraine and a group of creditors led by Franklin Templeton won’t hold direct negotiations this week as planned, according to a person with knowledge of the situation, underscoring the difficulties in progressing the talks.

Advisers for the two parties wanted to have further technical discussions before principals meet again, said the person, who asked not to be identified because talks are private. Direct talks are planned, but a date is yet to be set, said the person.
