Russia ready to start talks on Ukraine
Kremlin can dispatch a delegation representing military and civilian sections of government
Demilitarization and “denazification” of Ukraine, as demanded by Russian President Putin, are inherent to Ukraine’s neutral status, Moscow said. The Russian government is ready to send a delegation to negotiate this, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.
Ukraine's President Vlolodymyr Zelensky said he is "ready to discuss the neutral status of Ukraine,” Peskov said. Peskov said. Putin had “said from the start that the goal of the military operation was helping [breakaway regions] LNR and DNR, including by demilitarizing and denazifying Ukraine. Those are essential parts of a neutral status,” he also pointed out.
The Russian delegation would include military and civilian officials representing various branches of the government, the spokesman said.
Belarus, a military ally of Russia, earlier said it was prepared to host peace talks between Russia and Ukraine.

I'm not sure that Ukraine will take kindly to being denazified.
However, Putin has addressed the Ukrainian military directly and asked them to be the negotiators, bypassing ' the Nazis in Kiev ' entirely. They were installed themselves by way of a coup anyway.
