MINSK, 12 June (BelTA) – The conflicts in Ukraine and Iran will be resolved before the end of this year, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said in an interview to the Al Arabiya television channel, BelTA has learned.
Asked whether there is hope for peace in these conflicts, the head of state said: “The world is very unstable today because of the human factor. These wars were not given to us by God. We brought ourselves to this point. So we need to think about how to end them. As for whether these wars can be stopped, especially in our region (and in your region in the Middle East), we now have a greater opportunity than ever before to end them.”
“Everything depends on the desire of just a few people. If that desire exists, these wars can certainly be ended this year. Even the conflict between Russia and Ukraine can be resolved this year.”
Regarding the Middle East, Aleksandr Lukashenko believes there is no alternative but to end the conflict. “There is no option other than stopping the war. And it will be stopped this year. I hope even in the near future. First and foremost, the conflict between the United States and Iran, as it is commonly described. Although I do not consider it a war between Americans and Iranians. It is primarily a war between Israel and Iran, into which the United States has been drawn because of the short-sighted policies of certain U.S. leaders.”
According to Aleksandr Lukashenko, current circumstances are pushing all parties toward ending the war.“I know the position of the President of the United States, whose role is crucial in ending this war. He is focused on bringing it to an end. Once again, I emphasize: there is no other way out and no other solution. And that is the difference between this conflict in the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman and the war in Ukraine. This conflict is more complex than the one in Iran,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

The Belarusian president argued that objective conditions are compelling the U.S. administration to end military pressure on Iran.“And Israel will be fully dependent on the position of the United States. Therefore, I believe these conflicts can be ended this year. And I am not merely hoping for it, I am confident that they will be resolved,” Aleksandr Lukashenko concluded.
