"Warsaw, Bratislava, Budapest, Istanbul, Baku. We proposed all of them," Zelenskyy said, referring to alternative locations for the proposed talks,
Agence France-Presse reported.
"And any other city in a country from whose territory missiles do not fly would suit us," he added.
On Sunday, the Kremlin announced it had sent a negotiation team to Belarus for talks with
Ukrainian officials.
"The Russian delegation is ready for talks, and we are now waiting for the Ukrainians," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who noted the delegation includes military personnel and diplomats, according to Reuters.
But Ukrainian officials claimed the potential peace talks were not "real" and were instead "propaganda,"
the report said.
