BELARUS WANTS A ‘TRUCE’
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, a close ally of Russia, called on Friday for a “truce” in Ukraine and talks “without preconditions” between Moscow and kyiv.
“We must stop now, before the escalation begins. I take the risk of suggesting a cessation of hostilities,” Lukashenko said in an address to the nation. “It is possible – and must – to settle all territorial, reconstruction, security and other issues at the negotiating table without preconditions,” he added.
The Belarusian president also fears a “nuclear” war because of Western support for Ukraine. “Because of the United States and their satellites, an all-out war has been unleashed” in Ukraine, he explained, believing that from then on, “nuclear fires lie in wait on the horizon”.
