Ukraine could cease to exist as a state, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy needs to sit down, negotiate, and act urgently, states Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko in a comment to Kremlin propagandist Pavel Zarubin.
Lukashenko noted that he had previously leaned toward blaming European leaders and Europe itself for the inability to reach an agreement. Still, in recent days, he has received a lot of information that made him reconsider his position.
Pressure on Zelenskyy
According to Lukashenko, “It’s not about the US, which is very eager to push things forward, nor about Russia, which is ready to advance, nor European leaders - it’s more about Volodymyr Zelenskyy himself.”
Lukashenko believes that the Ukrainian leader may be under powerful pressure, and that under such influence, appropriate decisions will be made.
“However, action must be taken urgently. Russia is advancing on the front, I say this responsibly, as I observe it almost daily, and this could lead to the disappearance of Ukraine as a state,” Lukashenko said.
He did not provide any specific facts or clarify what exactly he meant by Russia’s advances on the front.
“Threat” from the West
Lukashenko also warns Ukraine that its Western neighbors allegedly see themselves in Western Ukraine and could try to take part of its territory, as they did before the start of the Great Patriotic War.
“Therefore, the situation there is very serious. I would like the president of Ukraine to hear my proposals and understand that no one will bring him happiness on Ukrainian territory except the Slavic states, so he needs to sit down and negotiate,” Lukashenko said.
Tomahawk missiles won’t fly tomorrow
Commenting on the possibility of the US supplying Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles, Lukashenko advised people to calm down.
Lukashenko said that our friend Donald (Trump — ed.) has a certain tactic for handling the most sensitive issues.
“He pressures the relevant authorities and people in some areas, acts more harshly in others, and then eases off and steps back. So you shouldn’t take it literally that it will fly tomorrow,” he said.
Finally, Lukashenko ominously added, for every poison there is an antidote.
Lukashenko’s threats
On Saturday, October 11, Alexander Lukashenko ordered an urgent check of the highest combat readiness of the Belarusian army.
The order was issued in the context of the Russian-Belarusian military exercises Zapad-2025, which have been expanded to the Kaliningrad region, bordering Poland, Lithuania, and the Baltic countries.
The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine reported no activity by the Belarusian army near the Ukrainian border.
Earlier, Lukashenko claimed that Belarus is producing several launchers for Russian medium-range ballistic missiles Oreshnik.
