Lukashenko proposes Minsk for crucial Ukraine peace talks
President Lukashenko suggested Minsk as the best venue for talks about Ukraine, although a meeting between the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine was not formally discussed. Recently, the Kremlin has responded to Lukashenko's proposal.
Many pieces of information provided by Russian and Belarusian media or government representatives are elements of propaganda. Such reports are part of the Russian Federation's information warfare.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Minsk is the preferred venue for talks about Ukraine. In a conversation with TASS, he explained that Belarus, Russia's main ally, is the ideal location for negotiations.
"Belarus is our main ally; therefore, it is the best location for us for negotiations," said Peskov, as reported by the TASS agency.
Previously, Alexander Lukashenko proposed meeting with Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Minsk. "Come here; we'll sit down and calmly, without noise, reach an agreement," Lukashenko quoted by the BelTA agency.
Lukashenko allegedly claimed that Washington and Moscow can be partners in global stability, calling it "essential to end conflicts." "Lukashenko talks about peace, but Ukraine has seen what Belarusian neutrality truly means," notes NEXTA.
Zelenskyy's proposals
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, proposed the first stage of ending the war, which includes the release of prisoners and a truce in the air and at sea, provided that Russia reciprocates.
Zelensky stated his willingness to operate under Donald Trump's strong leadership and expressed readiness to sign a mineral agreement with the U.S. at any time and in any format.
