Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov once again commented on the likelihood of Western countries supporting the proposal of President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko to hold talks between the United States and Russia in Minsk. According to Dmitry Peskov, the West is not ready for peace initiatives.
“There is no readiness or openness for peaceful initiatives on the part of the collective West,” Dmitry Peskov concluded on the air of the TV channel “Russia 1”.
US President Joe Biden will visit Poland on February 20-22. The Kremlin believes that Mr. Biden’s lack of plans to visit Belarus at the invitation of Alexander Lukashenko indicates that the West is not ready for peace initiatives. The United States considers Alexander Lukashenko the illegitimate president of Belarus, who seized power in the republic in 2020 through rigged elections.
