Belarus said that it had prepared the venue, near Pripyat river on the border with Belarus, that will host peace talks between Ukrainian and Russian delegations four days after the start of the invasion.
On February 27th, Russia called on Ukraine to hold talks in Belarus. However, Ukaine refused to have discussions in Minsk since it is considered an ally to Moscow and Belarus allows Russian troops to pass through to attack Ukraine.
