Lukashenko: Zelensky’s “victory plan” does not match the battlefield situation/ Belarus is a BRICS partner

According to Isna, the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, on the sidelines of the BRICS meeting, during an interview with the Russian NTV media, which was published on Saturday in the Belta News agency, said: “The victory plan” by President Volodymyr Zelensky Ukraine has been raised, it is not consistent with what is happening on the front line and in the Kursk region.

He added: They call such a plan “victory plan”. What a strange name! Because it’s not about winning, and thankfully they stop.

The situation on the battlefield is difficult for the Ukrainian forces, their situation is getting worse day by day along with the advances of the Russian army, while the President of Ukraine has presented a plan called “Victory Plan” in the hope of achieving an achievement on the battlefield, but the support of the Western countries for all Its clauses are in an aura of ambiguity and they say that they are currently consulting about this program.

The president of Belarus continued to emphasize: “It is said that peace in Ukraine depends on the United States and Europe; If they want, peace will be established and until they don’t want, there will be no peace. In my opinion, the situation has changed recently. Seeing the situation in the Kursk region of Russia, Americans and especially Europeans want peace more than Zelensky himself. Zelensky is now resisting, offering numerous formats, proposals, and programs that are more like slogans. “These proposals do not match what is happening on the battlefield today.”

In this regard, the “Financial Times” newspaper recently wrote in a report: “Ukraine and its allies are gradually realizing that this European country should enter into negotiations with Russia and stop recapturing the areas it has lost control over.”

Referring to the achievements and progress of the Russian army in the battlefield, Lukashenko said: “Russia has liberated one third of its occupied territory. Maybe even more. “The important thing is that the Russians have now learned how to fight in Kursk because they are divided into groups and then enter territories.”

Ukraine will enter its third year of war in February 2025, and the country’s situation is now in a darker state than before. The Ukrainian army is losing its forces in the east, and despite the unexpected attacks on Russia’s “Kursk” and the many weapons it receives from the west, it is unable to maintain its positions, and the Russian forces continue to advance in the Donbass, although with few achievements. they give

Exchange of prisoners of war between Russia and Ukraine

Referring to the exchange of prisoners of war between Russia and Ukraine, the President of Belarus said: “Belarus will continue to facilitate the exchange of prisoners between Russia and Ukraine.”

In this regard, he added: “Belarus has specific contacts with Ukraine. The exchange of prisoners and bodies was carried out with the mediation of the UAE, but this process was organized with the direct participation of Belarus. “All these processes are carried out on our soil and with our direct participation.”

Russia and Ukraine recently released 95 prisoners each in line with the implementation of a prisoner exchange agreement brokered by the United Arab Emirates.

“Alexander Lukashenko” said in relation to this issue: “If the Russians want and the Ukrainians want, we will continue to facilitate this process. Ukraine agrees to cooperate with us and practically on our territory. We will continue to carry out this humanitarian mission, including for children. We also have normal contacts with the Ukrainians and can send any signal to them. If they have any questions, they can ask us and through us they can pass some questions to the Russian Federation.”

Western claims about the presence of North Korean troops in Russia

In relation to the claim made recently by South Korea and then the United States about the alleged presence of North Korean forces in Russia to fight against Ukraine, the President of Belarus said: “Russia does not need the participation of a third party in this war.”

Lukashenko went on to clarify: “I think this is a fake story to provide an excuse for other actions, for example, perhaps issuing authorization for attacks deep into Russian soil.”

He also added: “I don’t believe the presence of the North Korean army in Ukraine, especially since no one has provided any evidence.” “Russia also does not need a third party to intervene in this conflict.”

South Korea’s spy agency claimed last week that North Korea sent 1,500 troops to the Russian Far East earlier this month to fight for Moscow in the Ukraine war, and that Pyongyang is ready to send more troops.

Meanwhile, North Korea’s representative at the United Nations emphasized that his country has not sent any troops to Russia to help in the war against Ukraine.

Brazil-China peace plan

The President of Belarus said that the country welcomes the joining of China and Brazil in the efforts to find a peaceful solution to the war in Ukraine.

He also said: “China and Brazil are not rivals of Russia, but they want a peaceful solution to the war in Ukraine.” Both countries are now promoting a joint peace plan to resolve the armed conflict in Ukraine. I support the participation of China and Brazil in this process. “The most important thing now is to bring everyone to the negotiating table.”

BRICS meeting

Referring to the three-day BRICS meeting, Alexander Lukashenko said that there are still many unresolved problems in BRICS, but they can and should be solved.

The three-day BRICS summit, which took place from Tuesday to Thursday last week in the southwestern Russian city of Kazan, is the first meeting of the group of emerging economies such as Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa since it expanded earlier this year. And countries such as Egypt, UAE, Ethiopia and Iran were also included.

Lukashenko also noted: “Before becoming a member of BRICS, Belarus must first cooperate with this organization as a partner. The relevant status was granted at the Kazan Summit. This stage is now mandatory for all and this decision was taken by BRICS members. Those who want to join BRICS must go through this step. Therefore, Belarus is a BRICS partner country.
