Details: As Lukashenko stated, the US is not allowing the leadership of Ukraine to start negotiations with Russia.

Quote from Lukashenko: "If you mean the leadership of Ukraine, then most definitely they [the Americans - ed.] are holding them back [from entering into negotiations - ed.].

The Americans want to put Europe down with one blow, in one go, and get close to China through Russia.

Of course, by crushing Russia."

Background:

Earlier, Lukashenko has called on the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to stop and enter into peace negotiations with the aggressor country, Russia, if he wants to avoid huge casualties and the complete destruction of Ukraine.

In the meantime, Sergei Lavrov, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, took offence that Zelenskyy "no longer listens to the US".
