Russia ready to send delegation to Minsk for talk with Ukraine

(VOVWORLD) - Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday that President Vladimir Putin is ready to send a Russian delegation to the Belarusian capital of Minsk for negotiations with Ukraine, one day after Russia launched a military operation in eastern Ukraine.
The Russian team will consist of representatives of the defense ministry, the foreign ministry and the presidential administration.

Peskov told Russian media that demilitarization of Ukraine is an integral part of the issue for Ukraine's neutral status. The Kremlin also announced that President Putin is ready to talk about Ukraine’s neutrality.
