On Tuesday there was confusion about statements by the Belarusian head of state Alexander Lukashenko. The 68-year-old announced that his government had been asked by Kiev to sign a non-aggression pact with Ukraine. There was no confirmation from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Lukashenko is considered a close ally of Russian head of state Vladimir Putin. At a government meeting, the Belarusian ruler claimed that the West was using Ukrainian territory to train the army and that this could destabilize the situation in Belarus. Lukashenko provided no evidence for the assumptions. “We are requested under no circumstances to participate in the war against Ukraine and not to send our troops there,” Lukashenko told the Belarusian news agency Belta.
The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy later stressed at a press conference that his country would not attack Belarus. It is very important for Kiev that Belarus does not lose its independence. Zelensky did not confirm that a non-aggression pact had been proposed.
