Mykhailo Podoliak, adviser to the head of the President’s Office of Ukraine, is ready to hold a special round of negotiations in Mariupol in order to remove the blocked Ukrainian military and civilians.

"Yes. Without any conditions. We’re ready to hold a ‘special round of negotiations’ right in Mariupol. One on one. Two on two. To save our guys, Azov, military, civilians, children, the living & the wounded. Everyone. Because they are ours. Because they are in my heart. Forever, " Podoliak said on Twitter Wednesday evening.
