FM: Belarus will actively engage in Ukraine peace settlement

Belarus will continue to actively engage in the process of peaceful settlement in Ukraine, Belarusian Minister of Foreign Affairs Maxim Ryzhenkov said at a joint meeting of the CSTO Foreign Ministers Council, Defense Ministers Council and Committee of Secretaries of Security Councils in Moscow on 10 November, BelTA has learned.

“The EU’s self-interested geopolitical interest and its desire to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia are hindering the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. That is why we expect that the trilateral talks between Russia, the USA and Ukraine currently underway in Abu Dhabi will make it possible to reach peaceful agreements as soon as possible,” Maxim Ryzhenkov said.

He also welcomed the recently successfully carried out joint humanitarian mission in Oleshky, to which Belarus made a substantial contribution. “By the way, we will continue to actively engage in the issues of peaceful settlement of the conflict in Ukraine,” the Belarusian minister of foreign affairs assured.
