OREANDA-NEWS. Head of the Ukrainian delegation to the Trilateral Contact Group on Donbass, Leonid Kravchuk, said that Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko turned to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin with a request for military support. Kravchuk did not rule out the possibility of Russian military intervention in what is happening in Belarus.

“I know that President Lukashenko has turned to President Putin for help, for military assistance to help stop the processes that are going on and which, they say, are caused only by the intervention of foreigners,” Kravchuk said in an interview with journalist Dmitry Gordon. “I thought that if it would be military assistance and troops were brought in, it would no longer be a state, it would be an occupied territory,” the Ukrainian politician added.

He also noted that if Moscow provides such support to the official Minsk, the negotiations on Donbass can be transferred to a neutral country, for example, to Sweden, Switzerland or Finland.
