Lukashenko believes peace in Ukraine will be achieved this year or next. According to him, prolonging the conflict is exhausting Russia's economy, but the country is ready for peace. Ending the war, emphasized the Belarusian leader, is necessary for both sides. Lukashenko also stated that if Ukraine does not go for peaceful settlement this year, it will be even harder next year, and later — "impossible".
