"An old song in a different arrangement." Lukashenko on possible "combinations" for arms supplies to Ukraine
September 29, 2025
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko considers possible "combinations" with the supply of American weapons to Ukraine undesirable. The head of state stated this in an interview with journalists in Moscow, a new fragment of which was shown on the air of the Belarus 1 TV channel, according to BELTA.
Alexander Lukashenko noted that in foreign policy, US President Donald Trump has taken a very decent position, striving for peaceful resolution of conflicts.
"Where can he go now? He needs to act in this direction. And he will act. He has the rebellious, revolutionary force for this. Therefore, I support it. I would like them not to come up with some kind of combinations. Like: I will sell weapons to Europeans, and they can supply Ukraine with whatever they want, whatever they do. Listen, we are adults. Gave it to the Europeans. Europeans paid. Or maybe they didn't pay. But simply, as Biden used to give weapons. It arrived in Ukraine. Will you check who paid whom? That is, this is a revival of the old song, only the arrangement is different. But otherwise, it's all the same," the President stated.
"We need to be more open here, if we are to speak publicly. Or it is better not to say anything publicly at all until an agreement is reached. We need to reach an agreement and then talk about the results. But Donald has such a tactic. We understand it, we respect it, we agree with it somewhere, and somewhere we don't. And depending on our understanding, we will act," the Belarusian leader emphasized.
