Russia says a delegation has arrived in Belarus - ostensibly for talks with Ukraine.
But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected the offer, saying talks in Minsk could have been possible if Russia had not attacked Ukraine from Belarusian territory.
However, he is leaving the door open to negotiations in other locations.
He said: "If there had been no aggressive action from your territory, we could talk in Minsk... other cities can be used as the venue for talks.
"Of course we want peace, we want to meet, we want the war to end. Warsaw, Bratislava, Budapest, Istanbul, Baku - we've offered them to the Russians.
"Any other city would suit us, too - in a country, from whose territory missiles are not launched at us. This is the only way negotiations can be honest and can really end the war."
