He also claimed that the Putin government cannot trust any truce agreements reached with the Zelensky government because these truce agreements cannot prevent the conflict from erupting again, so the current Ukrainian government must be destroyed.

“This move would lead to a further and extremely dangerous escalation of the situation … the Belarusian regime is an accomplice to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which, although unprovoked, is also illegal,” the statement read. The Belarusian government immediately ceases its support for Russia’s war in Ukraine and reverses these decisions, which only heighten tensions and jeopardize Belarusian sovereignty.”
NATO has also issued a similar statement.
