On Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's offer of talks, an adviser to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said he was ready for peace talks with Russia.
According to the International News Agency, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said that peace talks could take place if the Ukrainian army lays down its arms.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov supported the military operation, adding that Russian troops had entered Ukraine to prevent repression.
Reacting to the Russian foreign minister's statement, the adviser to the Ukrainian president said that if Russia wants to talk and it is possible, then there must be talks.
The Ukrainian presidential adviser added that it was important for the talks to be neutral, otherwise there would be no positive results, but he did not comment on the condition of surrender.
An earlier statement from the Kremlin stated that "the Russian president has agreed to send a delegation to Belarus for talks with Ukraine." The Belarussian president has offered to host talks between Russia and Ukraine.
It should be noted that the Russian army is only 9 kilometers away from the Ukrainian parliament, while the death toll on the first day of the attack reached 137, including Ukrainian soldiers.
