President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko believes that in the coming year there is a chance to move forward in the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. This was stated by the head of state in St. Petersburg, as he was answering the questions of journalists, reports BelTA.
"I think that the very chance. We will somehow work with them more closely so that they realize that this is the only chance. If they don't use it, there will be a collapse," emphasized the head of state.
Responding to a clarifying question about what decisions we're talking about, military or political, Alexander Lukashenko said: "Now it has already reached the politicians. As I have always said, the military see what is going on. The pressure is already very strong. You must have noticed from Zelensky's press conference that he's beginning to understand. "
The head of state was also asked a question regarding security on the borders in the western direction. "Is there pressure from Poland?" - one of the journalists asked.
"It's not a big deal. I am an old border guard. How can I fail to ensure security at the borders," assured the Belarusian leader.
