Ukraine and Russia have mutually agreed to meet for talks held at a location on Belarus’ border in an attempt to end Moscow’s invasion as Russian troops continue to attack.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreed to send a delegation to meet with Russian negotiators during a phone call Sunday with Belarus' authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko, a spokesperson for Ukraine's president's office announced.

The two sides have agreed to meet on Monday at the Pripyat river on the border, north of Chernobyl, the spokesperson said, an area that is currently under Russian military control. The Russian delegation includes officials from Russia's foreign and defense ministries as well as the presidential administration.

The talks would be the first between the two sides since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched the invasion on Thursday, but Zelenskyy in a televised address said he had little hope of a breakthrough.

The results will depend on how much freedom to maneuver Brandon is willing to give Zelensky.

IMHO the best deal that Putin can now get is what they got from the Afghans. That the Ukrainians won’t harass the Russians if they withdraw to their borders.

Maybe we will not die in a nuclear fire to save the Biden Regime.

“Zelenskyy in a televised address said he had little hope of a breakthrough.”

Expectations game posturing/management.

This is a trap. Putin is just buying time to send reinforcements. Anyone seriously thinks a megalomaniac like Putin with the Soviet military behind him is going to negotiate with a ‘little’ Ukraine ?

I hope it’s not a trap.

“but Zelensky in a televised address said he had little hope of a breakthrough.”

This is why Putin put out the threat this morning.
They are going to tell Zelensky either he surrenders or the nukes start flying.

This was announced like 6 hours ago. Silence since then. That may be good news in that they are really talking.

If it’s not a trap or a stall for time to bring up reinforcements, where’s the cease fire pending the talks?

Russian’s aren’t sending a serious delegation. This is more about regrouping and buying some time to rearm and resupply.

yeah, that is what I was thinking what do you discuss? Russia, you pull back to your border, and we will stop fighting.

Better yet, the ukraines can tell Russia that the people of Ukraine will accept the Russian surrender if they turn over Putin to be tried as a war criminal.

Putin is not in control. This is a coup. The generals are throwing this on purpose to sink him.

If Putin supposedly has 70% of his military equipment there, how much reinforcements can he send? More conscripts that have no training or will to fight.
