MINSK, 15 August (BelTA) – The conflict in Ukraine must end at the negotiating table, yet there are a number of high-ranking officials in the West who actually hold a completely different opinion on the matter, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said in an interview with the Rossiya TV channel, BelTA has learned.
“Let us sit down at the negotiating table and end this fight. Neither the Ukrainian people, nor the Russians, or the Belarusians need it. It is them who need this conflict. I cannot disclose these facts as they are top secret. But they [high-ranking officials] openly say and I quote: ‘it is good that Ukrainians and Russians kill each other’,” the president said.

“High-ranking officials are talking about such things. They are of U.S. origin (I will lift the veil a little bit here). Is this OK? They want us to destroy each other,” the head of state said.
