“As for the trilateral contact group that worked in Belarus ... If you don’t like it today, please, you can choose any other country,” RIA Novosti quoted Lukashenko as saying during talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin.
He noted the need for consensus from all parties involved in this issue.
The Belarusian leader expressed the opinion that the desire of Kiev to change the site in Minsk speaks of the intention to "bury" the Minsk agreements. "
Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine - Minister for "Temporarily Occupied Territories" Aleksey Reznikov noted that Kiev insists on finding another city instead of Minsk for negotiations on Donbass.
According to him, the Ukrainian side “has no confidence” in Belarus.
The head of the Ukrainian delegation to the trilateral contact group on Donbass, Leonid Kravchuk, called for a neutral and "highly authoritative" country in Europe to be chosen for such negotiations.
