There can be no negotiations without the participation of Belarus. Since you got us involved in this — first of all, Western countries — there, at these negotiations, of course, the position of Belarus should be voiced,» Lukashenka said at a meeting of the Security Council. An excerpt from the meeting was published by the Pool of the First Telegram channel close to the press service of the head of state. Lukashenka explained that Minsk does not proceed from the fact that Belarus was «plunged into the same basket with Russia.» «No. We proceed from the fact that this war is behind the fence of our country. It seriously affects the situation in Belarus. Therefore, there can be no separate agreements behind the back of Belarus. And I am absolutely convinced and I know that Russia understands. There is nothing wrong with that, but it will be contrary to the intention of the West. But this does not mean that we should dance to the tune of the West,» the Belarusian president said. 690a59e1a8c69ae4a38e1b00e7aa6481.jpg» />Orban invited Putin to peace talks in Hungary
