The Minister of Foreign Affairs of UkraineDmitro Kuleba, affirmed today that his country is not going to “capitulate or surrender an inch of territory.”
“We are going to listen to what Russia wants to say (…) and to say what we think about this war,” said the head of Ukrainian diplomacy at a press conference on the talks that will be held with Russia on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border. .
He added that when Russia launched the invasion last Thursday, it did not want negotiations and now, when it sees that its “lightning war” plan has failed and it suffers losses due to Ukraine’s resistance, it wants to negotiate.
“This for us is already a victory,” said Kuleba, who stressed that the negotiations in no case mean that the Ukrainian armed forces will stop fighting Russian troops that entered its territory.
Kuleba stressed that the negotiations will not be held in Belarus, but on the border with that country, which Kiev has accused of being complicit in Russia’s aggression by allowing Russian troops to attack Ukraine from its territory.
He revealed that Belarus was about to enter the war on the side of Russia, but finally the president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, promised in a telephone conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, that this will not happen.
“We’ll see if he keeps his word,” he said.
