According to the Russian news agency reported on the 28th, the Ukrainian delegation participating in the Russian Ukrainian negotiations had arrived in Belarus on the same day. According to CCTV news, the head of the Russian delegation mezinski said that the talks between Russia and Ukraine are expected to start at 12:00 local time on the 28th (17:00 Beijing time on the 28th). Ukraine had previously refused to talk in Belarus and asked for another location. However, on the 27th, after the telephone conversation between Ukrainian President Zelensky and Belarusian president Lukashenko, Ukraine agreed to negotiate in Gomel. Where's Gomery? Why this place? Sun Ping, the first chief reporter of Xinhua news agency in Minsk, said that Gomel was the result of compromise between Ukraine and Russia. Russia initially proposed to hold negotiations in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, but Ukraine rejected it. Ukraine believes that Russia and Belarus have close relations, and Belarus has also participated in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Some Russian weapons and equipment were transported into Ukraine from the territory of Belarus. Uzbekistan had previously proposed holding talks in the capitals of some central and Eastern European countries, including Warsaw and Budapest. These NATO countries are obviously unacceptable to Russia. Finally, the two sides reached a compromise and chose Gomel. Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian President, said that Gomel was chosen by Ukraine. Gomel Prefecture is located in the southeast of Belarus and belongs to the border area between Belarus and Ukraine. Gomel, its administrative center, is the second largest city after Minsk, 302 kilometers away from Minsk, 567 kilometers away from Moscow and 222 kilometers away from Kiev. Although Gomel is the second largest city in Belarus, many Chinese who have worked in Belarus have never been there. Gomel Prefecture is close to Ukraine and is one of the areas most affected by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident in Belarus. A large amount of radioactive dust generated after the nuclear accident floated into Gomel state with the wind, resulting in serious pollution of the local ecological environment. So far, some no man's land designated by the government has been retained. After the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis in 2014, Minsk once became the focus of public opinion in Europe and even the world as the signing place of the two ceasefire agreements. The new Minsk agreement signed in 2015 is a solution to the Ukrainian crisis through political mediation generally recognized by the international community in the past few years. Now, with the resurgence of gunsmoke in Ukraine, the political solution of the Ukrainian crisis requires greater efforts from the international community. According to expert analysis, the evolution of the Ukrainian issue has a complex historical latitude and longitude. It is difficult to completely solve contradictions and conflicts in one negotiation, but the negotiations between the two sides will help cool the current situation. (Xinhua News Agency)
