Ukraine and Russia must agree to negotiate without preliminary conditions, President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko stated at the 2nd International Conference on Eurasian Security in Minsk.
“I have always maintained that no conflict is solely the fault of one side. When two parties are involved, both share some responsibility. However, the current issue is not about assigning blame; we will address that later. What matters now is to begin resolving the problem at the negotiation table,” he emphasized.
Lukashenko noted that once peace talks commence, it may be possible to achieve a ceasefire under certain conditions and subsequently withdraw troops from the front lines. “Anything can happen, but the key is that lives will be spared! We can discuss the reasons for the conflict later,” the Belarusian president stressed.
He also emphasized that his country must participate in the discussions aimed at resolving the Ukrainian crisis. “For us, it is a matter of ensuring our security,” he stressed.
Earlier, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko warned against the total militarization of the world. “The total militarization of the world is the worst thing that can happen today. If it happens, everything will quickly go up in flames and we all will have to face major consequences,†Lukashenko said at the Second Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security.
“Countries still have to use military force to protect their sovereignty and domestic stability and prevent an escalation of tensions. The further expansion of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East could have irreparable consequences on the global scale,†the Belarusian president stressed, Tass reported.
