Quote: "Let's go through the facts once again. Any ceasefire would mean Russia has a right to remain on the occupied territories. This cannot be allowed to happen.
Unlikely ‘peacekeepers’ look laughable."
Details: Podoliak added that Ukraine has a right to transfer troops and equipment across its own territory as it sees fit.
Background:
In his address to the Belarusian people and parliament, self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko customarily blamed the West for all of his country’s troubles. He mentioned the Russian occupation of Ukrainian Crimea, boasted that he had allegedly done a lot for peace in Ukraine, and mentioned that Zelenskyy and Putin needed to negotiate a dozen times.
In response, Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin’s spokesperson, claimed that a ceasefire was impossible due to the actions of the Ukrainian side.
