Zelensky appeals Belarusian people in his new speech; Lukashenko warns of consequence
In his new speech made in the Russian language, the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the citizens of Belarus about the referendum taking place there today.
“Make the right choice – this is the main choice of your life”, he assured.
He stated that he was aware of the proposal to start negotiations in Belarus. He noted that Kyiv would agree to negotiations in Belarus if there were no hostilities on its part. The President denies the opportuniyy to hold the talks in Minsk.
“Warsaw, Istanbul, Baku – we offered these cities to Russia for negotiations, and any other city from where missiles do not fly to Ukraine.”
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko commented on Zelensky’s appeal:
▪️ The Belarusian people have a person [in power] who will to appeal to them. The Ukrainian President was advised to appeal to his own Ukrainian people and be responsible for what is happening today in Ukraine.
▪️ There are no Belarusian soldiers in Ukraine, no weapons, no ammunition, Russia does not need such help.
▪️ Ukraine seems to be pushing Belarus to a special operation to protect its citizens.
▪️ The reason for the start of the military operation in Ukraine was an attack from its side: there were 2-3 missile strikes from the south of Belarus at the beginning of the conflict, since Kyiv deployed 3-4 missile divisions near the border.
“We must stop the war. I wouldn’t even call it a war. This is conflict. Day or two – there will be a war. And three days later – a meat grinder”.
Thus, Lukashenko promised a more serious answer if the corresponding action is not taken urgently by the Ukrainian side.
