#Breaking The Kremlin says a Russian delegation has arrived in the Belarusian city of Homel for talks with Ukrainian officials, according to the Kremlin Press Secretary (quoted by TASS)
No indication as to what the Ukrainian response may be but this ⬇️ is a reminder that Belarus is not a neutral country.

And from what I am seeing, Russian forces are pressing the attack near Kyiv
#Breaking: In his speech Zelensky acknowledged Russian proposal, and made the point I mentioned above: #Ukraine cannot negotiate in #Belarus, as it is no longer a neutral country.
Zelensky said multiple offers were made to negotiate in other neutral cities.
Warsaw, Istanbul, Baku all mentioned as possibility for talks on #Ukraine
Had to be said

I don't think it's been highlighted enough how worrying this video below⬇️ is

>>
Here is what this may mean (some fairly obvious some less):
1. Belarus will join the war
2. Russia is not negotiating in good faith
3. Talks are liable to collapse.
4. Offensive may be aimed at cutting off supply from western #Ukraine before Kyiv receives additional support
This is also a very worrying sign (besides being a war crime).

More than four days into #Russia's offensive against #Ukraine as talks are slated to start, here is my broad of view of the situation, and where things may go from here ⬇️
Overall, I think it is clear that the Ukrainian military is holding far better than #Russia expected. I don't exclude that Putin was presented a flawed/optimistic view of how things should have gone. As of now the record that was being played in his hear is scratching ⬇️
This is not to say that #Russia has not made any significant advances. Russian forces in the south are on the verge of potentially linking the Donbass with Crimea through a "pincer" move. Linking the two definitely was one of Russia's strategic goals, albeit not the main ⬇️

I am wondering if the Mayor of Kyiv is speaking literally when saying that the city is "surrounded". We've been mapping out the Russian offensive, and it seems to me that areas southwest of Kyiv only saw sporadic clashes during Vasylkiv assault yesterday
I am not trying to minimize how dangerous the situation is, but saying that it is impossible to leave Kyiv and that "all ways are blocked" is a big deal for people there.

If any one want to pitch in regarding this, feel free.
Well this is getting weird. Now the Mayor of Kyiv says news that Kyiv is surrounded and that evacuation is impossible is false. He claims it was circulated by Russian outlets - but it came from an interview of him in AP!
