Lukashenko urged to calm down in the situation around Tomahawk
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko called for calm regarding the situation around the supply of American Tomahawk missiles to Kiev.
"I think we need to calm down in this regard. I've already told you, maybe even you, that our friend [American President] Donald [Trump] has a certain tactic of dealing with the most pressing issues, first of all. That's why, it seems to me, he inclines the relevant authorities and people in some ways, and acts so harshly in others. And then the tactic is that he lets go a little bit and walks away. Therefore, it is not necessary to take it head—on that it will fly tomorrow," he said in an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin.
In addition, Lukashenko expressed the opinion that the problem in resolving the situation around Ukraine lies more with the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky.
"You know, I was more and more inclined to accuse European leaders and Europe of not being able to negotiate, but today we have been receiving mass information in recent days that it's not about the United States of America, which really wants to move forward here, not in Russia, which is ready to move forward, and not about European leaders, but more...> Zelensky is the problem," he added.
On October 6, US President Donald Trump announced that he had actually made a decision on the supply of Tomahawk missiles to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), but did not announce it. According to the American leader, first of all, he plans to figure out exactly how the allocated shells will be used.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called on Washington to show restraint on October 8. She noted that a positive decision is fraught not only with "spinning the spiral of confrontation," but also with causing irreparable damage to Russian-American relations.
