Speaking with journalists after participating in the first single voting day in the history of the republic, Lukashenko noted that such a fate awaits Ukraine if Western countries continue to “help” it, as they are doing now.

“If we negotiate with Russia now, they will completely lose Ukraine.

Therefore, today we need to negotiate in order to save the country,” TASS quotes the Belarusian leader as saying.

Earlier, the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Ermak, said that Kyiv hopes to receive an invitation to NATO at the summit in Washington.
