Zelensky Discusses Belarus's Potential Involvement in the War: 'There Are Provocations'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed hope that Belarus would not become involved in the Ukrainian conflict during an online speech at a government roundtable organized by The Economist. However, he acknowledged that the country may be drawn into the situation.

“We believe that Belarus will not get involved in this war, but there are provocations and there will be. Belarus is under the threat of involvement,” Zelensky stated, emphasizing that Kyiv is prepared for such developments.

Earlier, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko claimed that his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, has never asked him to participate in military operations in Ukraine.
