Zelensky revealed details of the telephone conversation with Lukashenko regarding the Russian invasion

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, spoke about a telephone conversation with Alexander Lukashenko that took place in the first days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

According to Zelensky, Lukashenko called a few days after the start of the war and apologized for the missile strikes launched from Belarus. The President of Ukraine quotes Lukashenko's words: 'Volodya, believe me, it's not me. I'm not in control. It's just missiles, it's Putin.' Zelensky emphasizes that he has witnesses to these words.

In response, Zelensky told Lukashenko: 'You are also a murderer, I am just saying.' He also asked how Lukashenko could allow missile launches from Belarusian territory.
