Russia is reportedly ready to send representatives to the Belarusian capital of Minsk to open talks with Ukraine.
Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, noted this in response to the request of the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, CNN reports.
“Following Zelensky’s proposal to discuss the neutral status of Ukraine, Putin can send representatives of the Ministry of Defence, the Foreign Ministry and his administration to negotiations with the Ukrainian delegation,” the readout said.
The readout added that Minsk was chosen as the venue for the proposed talk.
It has been earlier reported that the Russian forces have entered the Obolon district in the north of the city, just a few miles from its centre. The forces appeared to be closing in on Kyiv which put Ukraine under significant pressure.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian forces have reportedly pushed the Russian forces back, having blown up the city bridge to stop their advancement.
