\n
Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has demanded an \u201cimmediate ceasefire\u201d and withdrawal of Russian troops as a Kyiv delegation arrived for talks with Russian negotiators.<\/div>\n
\n
\nPresident Zelenskyy also demanded an \u201cimmediate\u201d European Union membership for Ukraine as the Russian invasion entered a fifth day.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian presidency made this known in a statement ahead of the peace talk with Russian negotiators on Monday.<\/p>\n

The presidency said: \u201cThe Ukrainian delegation arrived at the Ukrainian-Belarusian border to take part in talks with representatives of the Russian Federation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe key issue of the talks is an immediate ceasefire and the withdrawal of troops from Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbandon your equipment. Get out of here. Don\u2019t believe your commanders. Don\u2019t believe your propagandists. Just save your lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appeal to the European Union for the immediate accession of Ukraine via a new special procedure,\u201d the 44-year-old leader said in a new video address.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to be together with all Europeans and, most importantly, to be on an equal footing. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s fair. I\u2019m sure it\u2019s possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zelensky, in a new address to Russia\u2019s forces, claimed that more than 4,500 Russian soldiers had already lost their lives during the Kremlin\u2019s assault.<\/p>\n

Holding strong against the Russian invasion and retaining control over its major cities, Ukraine has started speaking to Russia on finding a way forward. The move comes as protests against Russia grow, both within its borders and beyond them.<\/p>\n

Russia has said it wants to reach an agreement with Ukraine, a negotiator said today ahead of a talks between the two sides in Belarus.<\/p>\n

Ukraine agreed to hold talks with Russia at its border with Belarus, near the Chernobyl exclusion zone, after a call between President Volodymyr Zelensky and Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko.<\/p>\n

Ukraine had earlier refused to talk in Belarus, where Russian troops were stationed before the invasion.<\/p>\n

Acording to AFP, President Zelensky said he was sceptical about the outcome of the talks but said they were worth a \u201ctry\u201d.<\/p>\n

The United Nations Security Council will also hold a rare emergency special session of the General Assembly on Monday to discuss Russia\u2019s attack on Ukraine. India abstained from the procedural vote, but welcomed the talks between Moscow and Kyiv.<\/p>\n

The UN has said 102 civilians, including seven children, have been killed in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The UN refugee agency has said tens of thousands are fleeing the fighting, with most crossing into Poland as the total count reaches 400,000, while others are seeking shelter in Hungary, Romania, Moldova and Slovakia.<\/p>\n
