The President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, mentioned the possibility of a strike on Bankova Street (where the Ukrainian president's office is located - ed.) following his meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, according to Russian media.

A propagandist asked Lukashenko to comment on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s threats to strike the Kremlin.

"You can talk and make statements about anything. But if the Kremlin hits Bankova, what will be left there? That’s why Volodymyr Oleksandrovych (Zelenskyy - ed.) needs to calm down," the Belarusian leader said.

He claimed there are "good proposals on Ukraine" that were presented to US President Donald Trump in Alaska.

"If the Ukrainians don’t accept these proposals, there will be a return to the situation that existed at the beginning of the special military operation. It will be even worse; they will lose Ukraine. Back then, it should have been stopped—the entire east would have been Ukrainian, except for Crimea," Lukashenko said.

The President added that he would like to talk with Zelenskyy and that he has things to say.

"I think the time has come for us to enter consultations. At the start of the special military operation, I said that the leaders of the three Slavic countries need to sit down and agree on ending this senseless war. If we don’t reach an agreement, it will be bad for everyone," he said.

Zelenskyy’s statement on the Kremlin

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that if Russia refuses to end the war, officials working in the Kremlin will need to find out where the nearest bomb shelter.

At the same time, Zelenskyy assured that Ukrainian forces would not attack Russian civilians, saying, "We are not terrorists."

A few weeks ago, Russia launched a missile strike on the Ukrainian Cabinet building. Fortunately, the missile did not explode upon impact.
