Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky says talks with Ukraine are set to begin in the coming hours near the border with Belarus.
Medinsky tells Russian state news TASS that his team was “ready for negotiations immediately after their arrival,” referring to the Ukrainian delegation.
Ukrainian officials initially rejected holding the talks at this location, saying they should take place elsewhere than Belarus, where Russia has placed a large contingent of troops.
