Lukashenko proposes Minsk peace talks amid US‑Ukraine tensions
The world is closely observing the relationship between Ukraine and the USA following the incident at the White House and Donald Trump's suspension of aid to Ukraine. Meanwhile, Lukashenko has made a surprising proposal.
Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko has proposed Minsk as a venue for peace talks, claiming he is ready to host negotiations with Russia, Ukraine, and the United States, reports NEXTA.
"Don't pressure Zelensky—convince him. Come to Minsk, sit down, no noise, no shouting—we'll make a deal," he told American blogger Mario Nawfal.
Lukashenko asserts that Washington and Moscow can be partners in achieving global stability, calling it "essential for ending conflicts." "Lukashenko talks about peace—but Ukraine has seen what Belarusian 'neutrality' really means," notes NEXTA.
Donald Trump on Ukraine
US President Donald Trump, in his address before the joint session of Congress, did not announce the suspension of aid to Ukraine; his speech was much more favorable for Ukraine than anticipated, media and politicians in the country commented on Wednesday.
"During the speech in Congress, Trump did not announce a suspension of military aid to Ukraine but reiterated that the United States has spent 'possibly 350 billion dollars,' while Europe has only spent 100 billion dollars," highlighted Radio Liberty's portal.
According to data from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, European countries have so far allocated 138 billion USD in support of Ukraine's war efforts, while the USA has provided 119 billion in military and humanitarian aid.
