Earlier, Kiev refused to conduct negotiations on Belarusian territory amid the conflict

Russia said on Sunday that, after some back-and-forth, Ukraine agreed to dispatch a team to Belarus for talks to end the Russian military campaign in the country.

Kiev “confirmed” the planned talks in Gomel Region, which is close to the borders of both Russia and Ukraine, Russian chief negotiator Vladimir Medinsky told reporters.

Medinsky, an aide to President Vladimir Putin and former culture minister, added that the parties are now deciding on the logistics and the exact location of the summit, with “maximum security” for the Ukrainians.

“We guarantee that the travel route will be 100% safe. We will be waiting for the Ukrainian delegation,” Russian chief negotiator said.

The Russian team arrived in Gomel on Sunday, where it said talks were planned with the Ukrainians. Kiev later said it wanted to negotiate on “neutral ground,” arguing that Russian troops were using Belarusian territory to stage attacks on Ukraine. Minsk, however, denied that its forces were participating in the Russian operation.

The Russians initially said their team would stay in Belarus until 3pm local time. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke to his Belarusian counterpart, Alexander Lukashenko over the phone, asking to move the deadline, according to Lukashenko’s spokeswoman, Natalia Eismont. She said the Belarusian leader then spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who agreed to move the planned negotiations to a later time.

Zelensky confirmed the call with Lukashenko on social media, but has not commented on the talks.

Moscow attacked its neighbor this week, arguing that it was defending the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, which broke off from the eastern part of Ukraine shortly after the 2014 coup in Kiev. Ukraine said the move was an act of unprovoked aggression.

Some uninformed Nairaland key warriors will tell you that its Ukraine that is looking for a way to dialogue with Putin while it's the other way round.
Putin knows he can't win this war which he started even if he succeeds in the invasion then what's next? Regime change?

Thats still going back to square one, cis its not about Ukrainian leaders but about the resolve of Ukrainians who have turned their back against Russia.

Putin wants to minimise casualties. From what I have observed, it is the West that want to escalate the whole issue through propaganda. Take for example, look at the casualties so far, very minimal. It goes a long way to tell you that what is going on in Ukraine is not what is being reported on the media.

why are you this in pain? you don't want them to dialogue abi so that the war can continue.

Peace is all we want ,hope they reach a temporary solution. eastern ukrainians will definately be a second class citizen either in Russia or Ukraine

Good for all parties

Ukrainian president should be very careful
Putin's assassins are likely waiting for him in Belarus.
Putin will just blame "separatists" for his assassination.

Far from it. I never wanted war in the first place.
A peaceful resolution is OK. But some pro Russians here tends to misinform the uninformed in this forum. That's what am against.

Tell your president,the petroleum minister to resign.

America and its allies are trying all means to escalate this conflict they want war, that's why no western media are reporting about the talks to be held in Belarus, instead CNN and co are hammering on Belarus joining the war. I hope Zelensky starts using his head.

Russia has an objective and are sticking to it, if it was a total destruction of Ukraine, the war would have ended in 2days.

Now the Russians have created a safe passage for Ukrainians in Kiev to leave the city before the final assault.

If Zelensky likes let him destroy his country.
