“The US wants to seize the moment by tying its allies to itself and drown Russia in a war with Ukraine.

This is their goal to deal with Russia and then with China, ”he said in an interview with the Associated Press.

According to Lukashenka, the conflict in Ukraine can end in a week if Washington gives Kyiv a corresponding instruction.

The Belarusian president also warned that the conflict in Ukraine should not be allowed to rise to a higher level.

According to him, "it is necessary to stop and agree."

At the same time, he believes that Ukraine is not interested in negotiations with Russia.
