Lukashenko: Belarus should definitely be involved in peace talks in Ukraine
Belarus should definitely be involved in negotiations on peace in Ukraine – as noted by President Aleksandr Lukashenko in an interview with Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko, BelTA reports
In June, the Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov, said that negotiations were already being prepared, and he did not rule out Belarus’ participation in the process.
"Is this a veiled invitation to you to participate in these negotiations, if they take place?" the journalist asked the Head of State.
"This is not a question for me. You should ask Danilov," Aleksandr Lukashenko replied, adding that he had listened to that statement.
“We border with Ukraine, we are actually ‘co-aggressors’ – as it is customary to say in your country and in the West. Naturally, our interests are there, and our position should be heard. Therefore, I do not rule out that Belarus (it is not yet discussed at what level) is obliged, should be involved in the negotiation process," the Head of State said. According to him, this will produce a positive effect. "Therefore, it is quite possible," the President added.
