Lukashenko predicts end of war in Ukraine within months

The conflict in Ukraine will end within the next few months, since the parties no longer have the strength or resources, and everyone is tired of the war.

This was stated by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko at the 4th Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security.

According to him, the need to end the war has begun to be understood by Europeans as well.

“The war in Ukraine will be ended within the next few months. This is my personal opinion. That’s it: there is no strength, no resources, everyone is tired of the war. And even in Europe they have begun to understand who this escalation came from,” the Belarusian president said.

Lukashenko claims that in 2022 the war could have ended “within a few weeks.”

“But Kyiv’s British friends demanded fighting ‘to the last Ukrainian,’ pumping our southern neighbor full of weapons. A real chance to achieve peace and save many thousands of lives was lost,” Lukashenko claims.

Earlier, the head of the Servant of the People faction, David Arakhamia, said that in the spring of 2022, then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson urged Ukraine to continue fighting rather than negotiate. Johnson himself, however, said that the Ukrainians wanted to continue the fight because they were having success on the battlefield.

A similar statement was made the other day by former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. According to him, Ukraine had an opportunity to try to end the war back in 2022, but this was hindered by the euphoria prevailing among the population over the prospect of reaching the 1991 borders.
