MINSK, 28 February (BelTA) – Belarus has prepared to host Russia-Ukraine peace talks and is waiting for delegations of these countries to arrive, Press Secretary of the Belarusian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Anatoly Glaz told BelTA.
He emphasized that the Belarusian side is ready to host the talks anytime. The negotiations will begin as soon as all the delegations arrive at the meeting venue.
A reminder, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko phoned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on 27 February. The politicians agreed that the Ukrainian delegation would meet with the Russian one without preconditions in the area of the Pripyat River at the Belarusian-Ukrainian border.
After that Aleksandr Lukashenko contacted President of Russia Vladimir Putin and suggested that the Russian delegation, which had arrived in Gomel to participate in the peace talks, should wait and reschedule the talks to a later time due to the delayed arrival of the Ukrainian delegation. Vladimir Putin backed the proposal of his Belarusian counterpart.
