Neutral status

Readiness for negotiations in Minsk

Later, Peskov said that Putin was ready to send a delegation to Minsk (Belarus) for negotiations with Kiev, writes Lenta.Ru.

He specified that the delegation will include representatives of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the presidential administration.

Ukrainian experts argue that the meeting should be clearly not in a country that supports the attack on Ukraine, but somewhere on neutral territory.

In addition, Putin turned to the Ukrainian military, who are now repelling the attack of Russian troops on their country, and offered to take power into their own hands, writes with the BBC.

“Once again I appeal to the military personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Don't let the neo-Nazis and Benderites use your children, your wives and the elderly as human shields. Take power into your own hands. It looks like it will be easier for you and me to come to an agreement than with this gang of drug addicts and neo-Nazis who settled in Kyiv and took the entire Ukrainian people hostage,” Putin said.
