Officials in Ukraine announced that they will meet with the Russian delegation "without preconditions," according to multiple reports Sunday.

"The politicians have agreed that the Ukrainian delegation will meet with the Russian delegation without preconditions on the Ukrainian-Belarusian border, near the Pripyat River," a statement from Zelensky's office said, per the Telegram app.

"Oleksandr Lukashenko has taken responsibility for ensuring that all planes, helicopters, and missiles stationed on Belarusian territory remain on the ground during the Ukrainian delegation's travel, talks, and return," the message said.

According to the Associated Press, it's not clear where and when the meeting will take place.

The announcement came shortly after Putin on Sunday ordered Russia's nuclear deterrent forces to be on alert amid his ongoing attack on Ukraine.
