According to Russian state media and others, the third round of negotiations for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine has begun.



Negotiations are taking place in western Belarus near the Polish border.



Negotiations for a ceasefire have so far taken place on the 28th of last month and the 3rd of this month, but Russian President Vladimir Putin will stop the attack unless Ukraine's demands for "demilitarization" and "neutralization" are accepted. The claim with the Ukrainian side for an immediate ceasefire remains largely separated, emphasizing that it is not.
