What did Trump and Lukashenko talk about?
As the illegitimate president of Belarus cynically stated, it is important to go through several stages on the path to establishing peace.
He also added that the most important of them is the cessation of hostilities and the loss of lives.
According to Lukashenko, he "is not sick of 'wanting' to organize talks between Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky in Minsk."
Despite this, he shamelessly noted that "this would be the perfect place for them."
Lukashenko assured Trump: if official Moscow and Kyiv agree and decide to come to Belarus, he will be delighted and will organize everything quickly.
"Although tomorrow I will organize everything at the proper level," the Belarusian dictator said.
As mentioned earlier, on August 15, official Minsk announced Lukashenko's first conversation with the US president.
It was then that Donald Trump was heading to Alaska for a summit with Putin to end the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Donald Trump confirmed the call shortly afterwards and said the purpose of the call was to thank Lukashenko for the release of 16 political prisoners. He added that he was negotiating the release of the rest and that he "looks forward to meeting with President Lukashenko in the future."
