Peace negotiations in the Russian invasion of Ukraine regarding the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine took place on Monday 28 February,[1] Thursday 3 March,[2] and Monday 7 March 2022[3], on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border, in an undisclosed location in the Gomel region.[4]

Background

On 24 February 2022, Russian president Vladmir Putin announced a "special military operation" in eastern Ukraine.[5] Soon after, Russian forces crossed into the Ukrainian border and began to fight against Ukrainian troops.[6]

During a conversation between Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko on 27 February, it was agreed that a Ukrainian delegation would meet with Russia on the Belarusian border, near the Priypat River, without preconditions.[7] It was reported that Lukashenko assured Zelenskyy that all planes, helicopters, and missiles on Belarusian territory would remain on the ground during the negotations.[8]

Negotiations

First round (28 February)

The first round of talks began on 28 February, near the Belarusian border. The Ukrainian president's office said that the main goals were to call for an immediate ceasefire and withdraw Russian troops from Ukraine.[9] It concluded with no immediate agreements,[10] however, a second round of negotiations were expected.[11][12]

Second round (3 March)

On 3 March, the second round of peace talks began. Both sides agreed to open humanitarian corridors for evacuating civilians.[13] Russia's demands were Ukraine's recognition of Russian-occupied Crimea, independence for seperatist controlled Luhansk and Donetsk, and "de-militarisation" and "de-Nazification". Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba stated that while his country was ready for talks to resume, Russia's demands had not changed.[14][15].

Third round (7 March)

A third round of negotiations began on 7 March. Although a deal had not been reached yet, Ukrainian negotiator and advisor to the president Mykhailo Podolyak tweeted that "there were some small positive shifts regarding logistics of humanitarian corridors."[16][17]
