Lukashenko shares insights on Ukraine peace plan discussed with Trump

Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko shared insights on a peace plan for Ukraine, which he had discussed in a phone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump, as he talked to the media in Minsk on 22 August, BelTA has learned.
 
The Belarusian leader shared his insights on the development of the situation in Ukraine with Donald Trump. First and foremost, he stated, the discussion could focus on establishing an aerial ceasefire and a cessation of hostilities along the line of contact. “That is, missiles and drones would stop flying in both directions. This is very important. For Russia as well. You can see there is nothing good about attacks on airfields, explosions at oil depots inside Russia and strikes on residential neighborhoods and factories. There is nothing good for Russia in this. Putin understands this just as well as I do. So Russia does not need this. Let alone Ukraine. After they hit a major plant with the Oreshnik, a plant with 8-10 underground floors where they [Ukrainians] could produce something, the Ukrainians realized they are in trouble. Russians could just as well strike Bankovaya Street [a street in central Kiev where many administrative buildings are located],” the head of state noted.
 
He emphasized that the Russian side had the opportunity to significantly escalate the conflict by using its new weapon, the Oreshnik missile system, against targets more sensitive to the Kiev regime, but did not because Russia would prefer a peaceful settlement. Vladimir Putin, whom the West calls an aggressor, at the very beginning of the conflict when Russian troops were near Kiev, refused to strike civilian targets and withdrew the troops.
 
“Here is some insider information for you. Some people in Russia had such plans (I would not name them). Putin said: ‘Under no circumstances.’ They were ready to strike... If they had hit the so-called decision-making centers with the Oreshnik, nothing would have been left there,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
 
The head of state emphasized that several steps are necessary to achieve peace, but the most important thing now is to stop hostilities and the loss of life. That is, the first stage requires a ceasefire, with the second one ensuring it (without replenishing troops, rearming, accumulating ammunition, etc.). And the third stage is peace settlement.
 
It was in this vein that Aleksandr Lukashenko shared his vision of the situation with the U.S. president. However, the latter deemed it possible to combine the first two stages and proceed immediately to concluding a peace deal. On this matter, the Belarusian head of state is certain that, first and foremost, a ceasefire must still be achieved. After that, negotiations can begin and continue even for years, as was the case, for example, with Japan and the Soviet Union, and now with Russia.

I recently learned my surname is not Polish, but Belarusian. I heard you on shortwave in the past and am so happy to listen online in English. We hear nothing about Belarus here in the US so I am so glad to learn about your country. Keep on broadcasting in English. I also joined the Hoererklub on Facebook as I can understand German. If you have information or a station pennant, I will very much appreciate it.
