Putin: talks with Ukraine can be held in Minsk

Russian President Vladimir Putin allowed that negotiations with Ukraine could be held in Minsk, if it comes to that.

He recalled that Russian-Ukrainian negotiations in 2022 began in the capital of Belarus.

According to Mr. Putin, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko is "ready to support in every way everything that is aimed at resolving contentious issues by peaceful means." "I am sure that if it ever comes to negotiations, Belarusian opportunities can also be used," the Russian president said in an interview with VGTRK correspondent Pavel Zarubin.
