KYIV: The Kremlin says a Russian delegation has arrived in the Belarusian city of Homel for talks with Ukrainian officials.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the delegation included military officials and diplomats.
"The Russian delegation is ready to negotiate, and we are now waiting for the Ukrainians," Peskov said.
There was no immediate comment from Ukrainian officials, who previously expressed their own readiness for peace talks with Russia, but did not mention any specific details on their location and timing.
Russia invaded Ukraine on Thursday, and its troops are closing in on the capital, Kiev, and making significant gains off the country's coast.
Street fighting broke out in Ukraine's second largest city, Kharkiv, on Sunday, marking a new phase of the offensive after a wave of attacks targeting airfields and fuel facilities, a Ukrainian official said. .
