Ukraine-Russia War, Moscow is ready to negotiate. This is what a Kremlin spokesman reported saying that a Russian delegation has already arrived in Belarus to “start talks” with the Ukrainians. The Russian delegation, the Kremlin explained, includes among other representatives of the foreign and defense ministries. Negotiations between Ukrainians and Russians “could have taken place” in Minsk had Moscow not attacked us from Belarus, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this morning, adding that Kiev remains open to talks in other places from which no attacks on Ukraine have been launched.
Not in Belarus, therefore, where a Russian delegation arrived ready for negotiations, but from where a missile sent to Kiev this morning as well. ”Of course, we want peace. We want to meet, we want the war to end. Warsaw, Bratislava, Budapest, Istanbul, Baku. These are the cities that we have offered to the Russian side” Zelensky said. ” Any other city is fine, any country where missiles don’t fly. This is the only way to negotiate honestly and truly end the war, “he added.
Zelensky explained that Minsk was chosen as a possible platform for negotiations not by Ukraine or Belarus, but by the Russian leadership. “If there were no aggressive actions from your territory, we could speak in Minsk, in your city. When you were neutral, we spoke in Minsk,” Zelensky said addressing the Belarusian people.
