Ukraine’s president Zelenskyy said Kyiv has agreed to send a delegation for talks with Russian officials on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border.
“We have agreed that the Ukrainian delegation will meet with Russian [officials] without prior conditions on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border, in the area of the Pripyat river,” Zelenskyy said in a statement.
Zelenskyy said he has spoken to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, without providing further details.
Meanwhile, Regional Governor Oleh Sinegubov claimed that the Ukrainian troops have full control of the country’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, after the street fighting with Russian forces.
Kyiv’s mayor also said there are no Russian soldiers in the capital, and that the city’s defences are holding firm.
More than 360,000 Ukrainians have fled the country since the beginning of Moscow’s assault, according to the UN.
