said Wednesday that they were prepared to hold talks for the second time since the Russian invasion of its neighbor began last week.
Vladimir Medinsky, Putin’s aide and the head of Russia's delegation, told reporters that the Ukrainians were expected to arrive Thursday for the talks in the Brest region of Belarus, which borders Poland. The Ukrainian military denied the claims, which couldn't immediately be verified. Kherson was one of at least three cities that Russian troops had encircled as of Tuesday, along with the coastal city of Mariupol and Kharkiv, in northeastern Ukraine.What's happening in Kharkiv?
Oleg Sinehubov, head of the Kharkiv regional administration, said 21 people had been killed and at least 112 had been wounded over the previous 24 hours. Police officers stand guard at the site of yesterday's airstrike that hit Kyiv's main television tower in Kyiv on March 2, 2022. The EU Commission said Wednesday that it will give temporary residence permits to refugees fleeing the violence and allow them study and work in the 27-nation bloc. The move would need the approval of member states, but they've already expressed broad support for the idea.
