Lukashenko Tried to Convince Ukraine to Bow Down to Putin

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has attempted to convince Ukraine to bow down to Putin, warning that otherwise it faces "complete annihilation," according to Unian.

"Now everything is in Ukraine's hands. If they don't want to die, especially a large number of people, this must be stopped," Lukashenko said in a conversation with journalists. He noted that Ukraine risks not only losing its statehood but could also be completely destroyed.

Lukashenko advises stopping the war not to the occupying country, but to the Ukrainians, the media outlet adds.
