Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko's latest piece of nonsense directly implies that the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, is already “asking for negotiations”. This is what the head of the Ukrainian Center for countering disinformation, Andriy Kovalenko, wrote in Telegram, UNIAN agency reported.
„If you translate everything Lukashenko said into human language, it is a signal that Putin already wants negotiations, because in Lukashenko's long speech it is said that “the goal has already been achieved,”, Kovalenko wrote.
>Lukashenko said earlier that the purpose of the “special military operation” (as in Russia they call the military aggression against Ukraine) has already been achieved. According to him, there are no "Nazis" in Ukraine now.
In recent days, there has been a sharp change in the tone of the president of Belarus, who is the Kremlin's closest European ally. At the beginning of the invasion, Lukashenko gave the territory of Belarus to the Russian army to open a front towards Kiev. Lukashenko is even now speaking openly that the war must stop.
His comments were made against the background of the military operation that the Ukrainian army is carrying out in the Kursk region. For the first time since the Second World War, a foreign army entered the territory of the Russian Federation, which is a huge humiliation for Putin.
Kiev and Moscow were close to starting talks on a partial ceasefire, which were due to take place in Doha later this month, but the invasion of Kursk region has thwarted them, according to Western sources. Putin's demands are clear – capitulation of Ukraine, which means that it gives up 1/5 of its territories currently occupied by the Russian army, including Crimea. Kiev, on the other hand, wants the withdrawal of Putin's army.
The Belarusian leader said yesterday that Ukraine has deployed more than 120,000 troops along its border with Belarus, and that in response Minsk has deployed nearly a third of its armed forces along the entire shared border, the state-run BelTA news agency reported. He did not specify exactly how many soldiers were deployed along the border.
The Belarusian leader, who is a staunch ally of Vladimir Putin, was speaking amid Ukraine's invasion of Russia, which began on August 6 when thousands of Kiev troops stormed across Russia's western border, causing huge confusion among Putin's top military.< /p>
