Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko believes that negotiations on a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Ukraine can take place in Minsk. He has invited the presidents of Ukraine, Russia, and the United States, Vladimir Zelensky, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump, to the Belarusian capital.
“Do you want to come here? It’s about 200 kilometers from the Belarusian border to Kyiv. It’s a half-hour flight. Come. We’ll sit here. Quietly, without noise, without shouting, let’s agree. Please tell Trump that I’m waiting for him here, together with Putin and Zelensky. Let’s sit down and make an agreement quietly. If you want to agree,” Lukashenko said in an interview with American blogger Mario Naufal.
The Belarusian president believes that Putin is focused on peaceful negotiations and conflict resolution.
He also believes that the Ukrainian president “must be persuaded to reach an agreement because most Ukrainian society is behind Zelensky. That is why an agreement must be reached.”
