(CNN) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he “would not agree to give up any Ukrainian territory in a possible peace agreement with Russia,” and warned that this “might push Russia back” to occupying his country.

Zelensky added, in an interview with the BBC: “Making any territorial concessions will make us weaker as a country, and it is not regarding the settlement itself, why are we afraid of that? There are millions of concessions in life, the question is with whom? A settlement with (Russian President Vladimir) Putin?” No, because there is no trust in him.”

The Ukrainian president stated that the “spring offensive”, which Ukrainian officials had warned of, had already begun, saying that “Russian attacks are already being launched from several directions”.

Zelensky responded to statements made by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, at a press conference, on Thursday, in which he stressed that he would not send troops to Ukraine unless his country was attacked. We will fight and we will survive,” he said, adding that it would be a “huge mistake” to allow Russia to use Belarus as a springboard to launch an attack.

Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said on Monday he had ordered his country’s forces to deploy with Russian forces near Ukraine in response to what he said was a clear threat to Belarus from Kyiv and its backers in the West.
The comments by Lukashenko, who has been in power in his country since 1994, indicate a possible further escalation of the war in Ukraine, possibly with the presence of a joint force of Russia and Belarus in northern Ukraine.
“Strikes on the territory of Belarus are not only discussed in Ukraine today, but are also being planned,” Lukashenko said at a meeting on security, without providing evidence for his words.
“Their owners are pushing them to wage war on Belarus to drag us there,” he added.
“We have been preparing for this for decades,” Lukashenko added. We will respond if necessary,” he said, adding that he had spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the situation during a meeting in St Petersburg.
He added that he and Putin agreed to deploy a regional military group, and together they began gathering forces two days ago, apparently following the explosion on the bridge linking Russia and Crimea.
Lukashenko said that a warning had been sent to Belarus through unofficial channels that Ukraine was planning to build a “Crimea Bridge 2”, but he did not give details.
“My answer was simple: ‘Tell the President of Ukraine and his other supporters that if they touch one meter of our land, the Crimean Bridge will look like a walk in a park’,” he added.
The Belarus army is estimated at 60,000 personnel. Earlier this year, Belarus deployed six groups of several thousand to the border areas. On Sunday, the commander of the border guards of Belarus accused Ukraine of provocations at the border.
