"An old song in a different arrangement." Lukashenko on possible "combinations" for arms supplies to Ukraine
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko considers possible "combinations" with the supply of American weapons to Ukraine undesirable. The head of state stated this in an interview with journalists in Moscow, a new fragment of which was shown on the air of the Belarus 1 TV channel, BelTA reports.
Alexander Lukashenko noted that in foreign policy, US President Donald Trump has taken a very decent position, striving for a peaceful resolution of conflicts.
"Where can he go now? He needs to act in this direction. And he will act. He has the rebellious, revolutionary force for this. Therefore, I support this. I would like them not to build some kind of combinations. Like: I will sell weapons to Europeans, and they can supply Ukraine with whatever they want, and do whatever they want. Listen, we are adults. He gave it to the Europeans. The Europeans paid. Or maybe they didn't pay. But simply, as Biden used to give weapons. It ended up in Ukraine. Will you check who paid whom? That is, this is a resumption of the old song, only the arrangement is different. But otherwise, it's all the same," the President said.
"We need to be more open here, if we are to speak publicly. Or it is better not to say anything publicly at all until an agreement is reached. We need to reach an agreement, and then talk about the results. But Donald has such a tactic. We understand it, we respect it, sometimes we agree, sometimes we don't. And depending on our understanding, we will act," the Belarusian leader emphasized.
