Lukashenko predicts Ukraine war will end in coming months

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stated at the IV International Conference on Eurasian Security in Minsk that the war in Ukraine is likely to conclude within the next few months. He characterized this as his personal opinion, citing the exhaustion of resources and personnel among the combatants as primary reasons for the expected conclusion.

Lukashenko warned that failure to halt the conflict could lead to a third world war and potential nuclear escalation. He criticized Western support for Ukraine, alleging that efforts to fight “to the last Ukrainian” have missed opportunities for peace.

During his address, Lukashenko proposed Minsk as a venue for direct peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, stating he does not wish to act as a mediator but wants to offer a real contribution to a peaceful solution. He also commented on US President Donald Trump, suggesting that Trump’s actions are helping to prevent a global conflict and even suggesting he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his role in preventing escalation.
