Russia revealed the role of Belarus in resolving the conflict in Ukraine

Russia is grateful to Belarus for its efforts to resolve the crisis in Ukraine. This was stated during the briefing by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova in response to a question from a Lenta.ru correspondent.

“We are grateful to Minsk for many years of efforts on the Ukrainian track from the very beginning of the crisis. Belarusians - our brothers and sisters - hosted the Normandy Four summit, which developed the Minsk agreements. It was approved by the UN Security Council, and then was sabotaged by the Westerners,” the diplomat said.

Zakharova recalled the Minsk Group negotiations until 2022 and the Russian-Ukrainian meetings on the territory of Belarus in 2022. Now, adds the Foreign Ministry press secretary, prisoner of war exchanges are also regularly taking place in the republic.
