Issue of Ukraine will not be resolved without Ukraine – Lukashenko. VIDEO
Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko has said that his Russian counterpart Putin told him about his talks with Donald Trump and the United States.
According to Censor.NET, he said this in an interview.
The dictator said that he had told him "in general terms" about the conversation with the US leader, about the talks in Saudi Arabia, and about rare earth metals.
"In a week, we will meet with him (Putin - Ed.) in Moscow and talk in great detail about all the issues. ... Then he went on to say that Ukrainians and Zelenskyy were offended that they were not invited to Saudi Arabia. He said: "Why invite them if the issues there were Russia and the United States. The issue of Ukraine was only briefly touched upon in these talks. That's why there was no need to invite Ukraine." But Trump has already said this, in this vein.
When the issues of Ukraine are resolved, I think that no one will resolve these issues without Ukraine," the self-proclaimed president said.
Meeting in Saudi Arabia
