KIEV, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko will take part in talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and top European Union officials including EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton in Minsk on August 26, a presidential spokesman said on Tuesday.

Separately, a top presidential aide Valery Chaly told journalists: "A Ukrainian delegation is being organised. It will clearly be headed by the President."

"Today a clear diplomatic roadmap is taking shape. We can come up with new approaches that will allow us to talk about a move from war to peace," Chaly said. (Reporting by Natalia Zinets; Writing by Alessandra Prentice; Editing by Richard Balmforth)
