Russia 'will never agree' to European peacekeepers in Ukraine, Lukashenko says

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko -- a close ally of President Vladimir Putin -- warned that the Kremlin "will never" accept a European troop deployment to Ukraine, as Moscow and Kyiv continue to maneuver for advantage in U.S.-sponsored peace negotiations.

In a wide-ranging interview with blogger Mario Nawfal published late Tuesday, Lukashenko praised President Donald Trump's forthright approach to Russia's war on Ukraine and suggested Putin was ready to make peace.

Any proposal is unlikely to win Russian support if it includes the deployment of European forces into Ukraine, Lukashenko said.

"Russia will never agree to this," he said. "At least, this is Russia's position today. Especially since the leadership of the European Union, primarily in the person of Germany and France, is taking a very aggressive position at the moment."

5. Hey isn't Lukashenko an American ally

Trump voted with Belarus vs Ukraine in the UN General Assembly vote. Lukashenko is on the American flag wavers' side.

NATO is still effective even if Trump pulls the USA out.

9. Russia is the guilty party, why the H does he get a say in anything.

10. Get out of their country. You have no say about who helps Ukraine

11. Notice this gives the lie to Vance's "it's not European forces that would guarantee security, it's US miners"

Russia (and allies, like Belarus, and Trump/Vance/Musk) don't want forces that would prevent a future attack; but they're not saying "US ownership of Ukrainian mines and infrastructure is unacceptable" - because they know they could ignore it when they decide to attack again.

12. And Europe will never agree to russian soldiers in Ukraine

Slava Ukraini!

[AmericaUnderSiege]

13. We're past Russia agreeing to anything.

From now on, be grateful that any offer involves the continued existence of the Russian Federation. The current disgraces will not go un-answered. This pig has the dubious distinction of unmaking his own nation.

14. Does anybody think

Putin will ever accept any 'peace' that doesn't involve the complete occupation of Ukraine and the execution of Zelensky? That's what Krasnov is asking Zelensky to sign on to.

Putin will simply ignore any agreement he's signed on to, and proceed to the already-planned end. Then it's on to...Poland or Romania, I'm guessing.

But you've got to give the toddler his due. He's managed to unite Europe. Behind Ukraine.

15. Then he may just have to watch fighting troops from other European countries

Like the N Koreans and Africans that he has put out to the slaughter on the Russian side. So sick of him and Trump both. Time for the world to knock them both about.

16. Too fucking bad. The losers...you pootie will not be dictating those terms.

17. Fuck Russia

Murdering land stealers.

18. They want to keep Ukraine weak for another invasion once they consolidate and rebuild their military.
