Russia and Ukraine will hold a second round of dialogue on Thursday

Hours earlier, Belarus had confirmed the presence of the Russian delegation in Minsk and its departure for Brest, in the southeast of the country, awaiting the arrival of representatives from Ukraine, with whom communication had been lost due to “logistical problems”.

The Kremlin spokesman, Dimitri Peskov, has avoided commenting on possible results of the contacts and has said that “first it is necessary to predict whether the Ukrainian negotiators will go or not.” “Let’s hope it happens. Our people will be there, ready to sit at the negotiating table,” he reiterated.

All the conditions necessary to resolve this situation were formulated quite clearly by the President of Russia (Vladimir Putin)including a list of conditions that Putin explained in detail to his interlocutors during international phone calls.”

For his part, Oleksiy Arestovich, one of the advisors to the Ukrainian Presidency, stressed that there will be no changes in the composition of the Ukrainian delegation and that it will insist on its positions.

Previously, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dimitro Kuleba, had pointed out that “it is still unknown when the new negotiations will take place”, while stressing that “Russia’s demands, in principle, remain unchanged”. “These are demands that Putin presented in his statement before the start of the war”, he said, before stressing that Kiev “is ready for negotiations and diplomacy, but Russia’s ultimatums will not be accepted”.
