Lukashenko Comments on Ukraine’s Drone Attack on Putin’s Residence: Russia Can Reduce Ukraine’s Decision-Making Centers to Rubble
Alexander Lukashenko, President of Belarus
As reported by Russia’s RT, commenting on Ukraine’s drone attack targeting the residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko pointed out that Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s actions have undermined Europe’s prosperity, and the situation will spiral into total destruction if left unchecked. He called on Zelenskyy to reach a peace agreement before it is too late.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday local time, Lukashenko stated, “Moments like this—terrorist attacks targeting a head of state—are extremely rare. Moreover, such acts never happen without the approval of top-level officials, that is from my experience. Volodymyr Oleksandrovych (Zelenskyy) must not continue down this path. He has already destroyed part of Europe’s prosperity; well, this will bring everything to a complete end. He should not go down that road and needs to strike a deal before it is too late.”
Earlier, on Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reported that the Kiev regime had attempted to launch a terrorist attack on President Putin’s official residence in Novgorod Oblast using 91 long-range drones. However, all these drones were successfully shot down by Russia’s air defense systems. Lavrov emphasized, “We would like to point out that this operation was carried out amid intense Russia-U.S. negotiations aimed at resolving the Ukraine conflict. Such reckless actions will not go unnoticed.” He also noted that the targets and timing for retaliatory strikes by the Russian Armed Forces have already been determined.
Lukashenko strongly condemned Kiev’s act, describing it as “the most heinous form of terrorism at the highest state level”. He speculated, “Perhaps they wanted to provoke Putin as peace draws near and derail the negotiation process.”
Against this backdrop, Lukashenko issued a warning, stating that “it is clear what will put an end to” such dangerous behavior. He bluntly declared, “What advice can you give them (the Ukrainians)? For them, regardless of your suggestions, they already have their own way of doing things in Ukraine. I just want to warn that this matter will end in utter disgrace.” Lukashenko further stressed that Russia has the capability to strike Ukraine’s decision-making centers and ensure that “not a single stone is left standing”.
