Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s spokesman said on Friday that Kiev and Moscow are consulting “place and time” to define a ceasefire in the country, invaded by Russia on Thursday.
“I have to refute claims that we refuse to negotiate. Ukraine was and remains ready to talk about ceasefire and peace. This is our constant position. We responded in accordance with the proposal of the President of the Russian Federation. At this moment, the parties are consulting each other about the place and time of the negotiation process. The sooner negotiations start, the more chance there is to restore normal life,” Sergei Nikiforov said in a Facebook post.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov announced that Putin is willing to send a delegation to Minsk, the capital of Belarus, for talks with Ukraine, but Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had earlier said that these talks would be conditional. the handing over of weapons by the invaded country. The ministry’s spokeswoman had stated that Kiev refuses to negotiate and would have postponed a decision in this regard until Saturday (26).
At the moment, the Russian armed forces are carrying out an offensive on Kiev and the fear is that the capital will be taken later this evening.
