- Lukashenko announced he is prepared to meet President Volodymyr Zelensky "anywhere" in Ukraine or Belarus.
- Lukashenko asserted that Belarus will not be pulled into the Ukraine war but will defend itself alongside Russia if attacked.
- Zelensky's Office dismissed Lukashenko's proposal, stating "This man's words mean nothing."
Why it matters: Ukraine loses a potential diplomatic channel as Zelensky's team dismisses Lukashenko's overture, while Belarus gains a chance to assert its neutrality yet remains tied to Russia, limiting any shift in war dynamics.
