MOSCOW, 14 March (BelTA) – Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko expects the war in Ukraine to end this year. The head of state made the relevant statement in an interview with Olga Skabeyeva, a TV presenter of the TV channel Rossiya 1, BelTA has learned.
Asked whether he sees any ruse in the USA’s proposals towards Russia or whether the proposals “smell like peace” after all, the president said: “No, they cannot have any ruse. There is nothing [concrete] yet. I say no but it smells like peace. I think that this year we will manage to do something with this [war], stop it. Not only here but the war between the Jews and Palestine in the Middle East. Why? Because Donald [Trump, U.S. President] personally wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Be my guest. We will nominate him if only he could deliver this peace.”
Aleksandr Lukashenko remarked that bringing about peace had been declared a key trend in the policy of the incumbent U.S. president after the matter of China. “It is quiet in the direction of China now while these [matters of the establishment of peace] are getting emphasized. This is why he will no longer be able to dodge. These events push him to produce results! This is why I don’t think that they are doing it like some ruse. No, it is no ruse, but you cannot trust them. Give me facts. We will look at these concrete facts and make decisions. In order to avoid getting fooled like we were in the past, as Putin says. I say we don’t want to be made fools of. They will not pull a fast one on us. We’ve had enough already,” the president said.
