Ukrainian MP Ilya Kiva believes the Ukrainian administration has squandered opportunities for dialogue with Russia, calling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a "criminal" for imposing martial law and promoting hatred.

On his Telegram channel on Sunday, Kiva described Zelensky as a criminal, accusing him of knowing about the start of the military operation in advance and not using the "opportunity for negotiations. On the contrary, he introduced martial law, pushing people to certain death."

The MP criticized Zelensky's administration for “doing everything to make the evacuation of Kievans impossible," adding that "thousands of guns" being distributed to Ukrainians without background checks was a blunder.

"It was practically a license for murder," he claimed, alluding to several reports and videos suggesting that many citizens in Kiev had already been victims of "banditry," and that the shootout heard in the Ukrainian capital was purportedly sparked by local disputes.

Kiva added that while many speak of Zelensky's "heroism," true heroism is about “rescuing, protecting and being ready to negotiate.”

Yesterday, the Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that a Russian delegation has arrived in Belarus for discussions with Ukrainians and is ready to start them in the city of Gomel.

Zelensky previously refused to negotiate and said Sunday that Belarus cannot be the platform for talks with Russia and suggested Budapest, Warsaw, or Istanbul, despite the Kremlin's statement that a Russian delegation has already arrived in Belarus.

The request was later approved, and "consultations on the time and place of the talks are going on at these hours," according to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's press secretary Sergei Nikiforov.

On Sunday, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent to Crimea reported that "the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that the government in Ukraine has lost its legitimacy." 

Meanwhile, our correspondent to Kiev quoted the mayor of the Ukrainian city of Berdyansk as announcing that "all official buildings in the city fell into the hands of the Russian forces."

Furthermore, Russian forces are moving north from Crimea in order to encircle the city of Kharkov from all sides according to our correspondent to Crimea.
