Belarusian President Aliaksandr Lukashenka has offered to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss bilateral relations and de-escalate tensions, following Ukraine's warnings of potential Russian offensive actions originating from Belarusian territory. Lukashenka reiterated that Belarus would not join the war unless attacked, despite Ukraine’s intelligence suggesting Russia is planning a new offensive towards Kyiv and Chernihiv from Belarus. Kyiv has dismissed Lukashenka's offer, with an advisor stating his words are unreliable and actions should be considered. Ukraine is bolstering defenses along its northern border and preparing diplomatic measures concerning Belarus, as recent Belarus-Russia nuclear exercises and alleged drone incursions heighten tensions with NATO members, drawing strong condemnation from European leaders.
