Lukashenko: Ukraine will "agree to peace treaty" according to US plan
Self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that Ukraine would allegedly agree to the "peace plan" proposed by the United States.
He said this on the sidelines of the CSTO summit in Kyrgyzstan, according to Censor.NET, citing BELTA.
"I would like to emphasise once again that we support your (Russia's - ed.) efforts to reach a peace agreement with Ukraine. Yesterday, I said that if the Americans behave like diplomats and true lawyers, this agreement will be approved. Since the main points have already been agreed upon... Now, as we say, the ball is in Ukraine's court. And I think that in view of the events unfolding on the front line, Ukraine will agree to this peace treaty. Otherwise, it will lose the country completely...
We very much hope that this will happen. Naturally, as we see it, certain forces in Europe must renounce confrontation," Lukashenko said.
He also added that "the main points have been agreed upon" and expressed hope that Europe would "renounce confrontation."
Lukashenko said that he had discussed the plan proposed by US President Donald Trump's team with Vladimir Putin. According to him, the Russian leader also considers the document to be "a good basis for negotiations." At the same time, he noted that the plan was allegedly drawn up in a hurry and needs to be "presented in an easily digestible form."
