"We are not conquering, we are returning" - Putin corrected Lukashenko about Donbass
Ukraine urgently needs to negotiate with Russia - the fall of Chasov Yar opens the way to the complete expulsion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Donbas.
Alexander Lukashenko stated this at a meeting with journalists on Valaam, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"About Chasov Yar. Absolutely on topic. Maybe there are some houses on the outskirts that are still not cleared, but Chasov Yar is the road to Kramatorsk. The center of Ukraine's SVO. And then what? Ukraine today should run and ask: "Vladimir Vladimirovich, let's sit down at the negotiating table." Otherwise, in a month or a month and a half or two, there won't even be any defensive structures left. The Russians will slowly bite off everything, seize it and go on to reconquer it," Lukashenko said.
“They will return,” Vladimir Putin corrected him.
