New talks, two days after the first negotiations between Ukraine and Russia?
The Kremlin indicates in any case this Wednesday that a delegation of Russian negotiators is ready to continue these discussions with representatives of Ukraine.
A second round of negotiations that could take place precisely a week after the launch of a "special operation" by Vladimir Putin, which initiated the start of the war in Ukraine.
"Today, towards the beginning of the evening, our delegation will be there, we will wait for the Ukrainian negotiators," Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov told the press.
Russia says it “hopes” that the Ukrainians will come to the negotiations, without specifying the place.
The head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinski, previously indicated that this new meeting would take place “soon” at the Polish-Belarusian border.

A first round of talks took place on Monday at the Ukrainian-Belarusian border, in the Gomel region.
The negotiators of the two parties then withdrew for "consultations" in their respective capitals, while considering a second round.
According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine "did not have the result it would like to have" after the first round of talks, but spoke of its "counter-proposals" to Russia "to put an end to at war ".
These first talks took place “against the backdrop of bombardments and shooting aimed at our territory (…).
The synchronization of the shots with the negotiation process was obvious,” denounced Volodymyr Zelensky.
"I think Russia is trying in this simple way to put pressure" on Kiev, he said.
