Aleksandr Lukashenko
MINSK, 20 January (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko told journalists what appeals to him most about the Board of Peace proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, BelTA has learned.
Regarding Belarus’ participation in the Board of Peace, the president noted that he is fully aware of the capabilities of the Belarusian side. “How much can we really help Gaza? Not significantly. But what I find appealing is the prospect that this Board of Peace, its actions and capabilities, may extend to other parts of the planet,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “First and foremost, perhaps we can do something regarding Ukraine, discuss matters and advance peace, bring it closer, influence the Ukrainian leadership. This is what appeals to me the most. Not that we will provide massive help to Gaza. I know my capabilities and the capabilities of our Belarus.”
“I am thinking about the future [when making a decision about participation in this new organization]. Perhaps not I, but someone else will. Perhaps they will be grateful,” Aleksandr Lukashenko added.
As BelTA reported earlier, on behalf of the Republic of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko signed the document on Belarus’ accession to the Board of Peace and the implementation of the provisions of the Charter of the Board of Peace. This was done in full accordance with the established procedure outlined in the letter from U.S. President Donald Trump.
