Ukraine to hold talks with Russia, but not in Belovezhskaya Pushcha - Arakhamia

According to Ukrinform, the head of the Servant of the People faction, David Arakhamia, announced this on Facebook.

"Information about the talks in Belovezhskaya Pushcha is not true. Negotiations will indeed take place, but the venue is different," the statement reads.

Arakhamia promised to disclose all the details later.

Earlier, media reports said that the second round of talks between Russia and Ukraine on Russian aggression on Ukrainian soil is to take place in Belovezhskaya Pushcha, Belarus.
