In an interview with Al-Arabiya TV channel, Alexander Lukashenka adopted an unexpectedly conciliatory tone towards Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who, on the contrary, has recently taken a much sharper and more uncompromising stance towards him.
«I may have gone a bit too far, but it was a response to his absurd statements: "We have 500 targets, we know where Lukashenka is, we will strike tomorrow with missiles, drones," – Lukashenka admitted the recklessness of his harsh words.
«If Volodymyr Oleksandrovych was offended, I apologize for those words,» he said.
Lukashenka attributes Zelensky's sharp rhetoric directed at him to his youth and "inexperience."
«I kept silent. Everyone was even surprised that I kept silent. I understood that the person is under such pressure. A young man, inexperienced, he is not a military person. But when they started threatening me, I was forced to respond.»
«But, on the other hand, he must understand that we often say: as you sing, so you are sung off. Therefore, one must be more careful and cautious.
Moreover, he perfectly understands, I emphasize once again, that no military actions should be expected from Belarus, and especially from my side," Lukashenka tried once again to regain the image he had in the eyes of Ukrainians before 2022.
