Lukashenko on Belarus-Venezuela ties

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said in his interview for the Newsmax channel that currently 'nothing is happening' between Venezuela and the United States, but noted that there is visible interest in Venezuela from the United States. Lukashenko compared the situation with the relations between Ukraine and Russia and stated that all issues related to the United States can be resolved 'in an absolutely peaceful way'.

Maduro's minister was not considered an enemy of Belarus. The president announced that in the event of the former Venezuelan leader's resignation, the doors in Belarus would be open for him, emphasizing his reliability and determination.

The interview also expressed thoughts on the issue of drug trafficking in the United States. Lukashenko noted that fighting drugs, human trafficking, prostitution, and weapons is a reality of the modern world, and called for seeking new methods of combat rather than using a 'rocket' approach.

The interview was presented in a question-and-answer format, emphasizing the importance of dialogue and peaceful solutions in international relations.
