Ukraine has agreed to negotiate with Russia. A Russian and a Ukrainian delegation will meet at the Ukrainian-Belarusian border, the office of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. There are no conditions.
The planned meeting on the Pripyat river near Chernobyl is said to have come about through mediation by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
The commitment to negotiations was preceded by days of tug-of-war over the venue. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy had declared his readiness to hold talks with Moscow, but not in Belarus, which the Kremlin had insisted on so far.
More information coming soon.
