“Euronews” recorded an hour and a half Lukashenka’s revelations

West would not agree to the plan regarding the normalization of the situation in Ukraine suggested by Lukashenka.

On 1 October Belarus President Aliaksandr Lukashenka granted an interview to the TV channel Euronews, which is to be aired by the TV channel Euronews on Friday, 3 October 2014.

An overwhelming number of the questions touched upon the situation in Ukraine.

Lukashenka accused the West of avoiding to adopt his plan on normalization of the conflict in Ukraine:

“When the conflict in Ukraine was just emerging, individual Western politicians asked me about my view of the situation in Ukraine and what had to be done to stop the war. I certainly didn’t want to discuss the topic because I understood that it was not going to produce results. Nevertheless, I told them I have my own vision and proposals regarding the normalization of the situation in Ukraine, full normalization, including the political situation, without leading the country into a war. We suggested the plan to the West without specifying things at that stage while acting in strong belief that the West would not agree to the plan. Moreover, I promised that if Belarusian proposals were acted upon, the situation in Ukraine would be normalized and wars would be out of the question. The West didn’t agree to the plan. It means that this way was profitable for someone,” said the President.
