Washington Post
Belarus is preparing to send soldiers into Ukraine in support of the Russian invasion in a deployment that could begin as soon as Monday, a U.S. administration official said Sunday evening.
Its very clear Minsk is now an extension of the Kremlin, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive security development.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko is a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Earlier Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine and Russia would conduct the first diplomatic talks since the Kremlin-launched invasion at the Ukrainian border with Belarus.
We will be happy if the result of these negotiations is peace and the end of the war, Ukraines ambassador to the United Nations said, reading a statement to reporters. But I emphasize again, we will not give up. We will not capitulate. We will not give away an inch of our territory.
