MINSK, 11 September (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko has expressed readiness of the Belarusian side to stand by U.S. President Donald Trump and help him in his mission to establish peace at a meeting with Belarus’ Permanent Representative to the United Nations Valentin Rybakov, BelTA has learned.
“Our main task is to stand by Trump and help him in his mission to establish peace. He stopped seven wars and conflicts, or six – it makes not a big difference. But indeed, unlike any other U.S. president, he is genuinely committed to preventing these wars. And his main task is the war in Ukraine [settlement of the conflict]. For us, this is the most important area. And I will ask you not just simply to monitor this issue but to do everything to ensure that this issue stay a priority,” the head of state said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that he understands Donald Trump: “One side wants one thing. The other wants something else. He is a mediator between them. No matter how strong and powerful he is, he will not resolve issues either for Russia or for Ukraine. Therefore, it is necessary to act together.”
“The Americans should know our position and not blame us for the things we are actually not guilty of. In our conversation, I told Trump: ‘We are allies of Russia, and that says it all.’ He said: ‘I understand.’ The Americans understand this, being thousands of kilometers away from the conflict zone. But our neighbors, including brotherly Ukraine, somehow cannot understand. As if someone needs this war. Well, the configuration is taking shape, we will find out soon who needs this war, but we must work for peace. That is the main thing,” the Belarusian leader emphasized.
