当地时间8月22日，白俄罗斯总统卢卡申科表示，他本人并不热衷于推动在白俄罗斯首都明斯克组织俄 罗斯总统普京和乌克兰总统泽连斯基之间的谈判，尽管明斯克对他们来说是一个理想的地方。但如果俄 乌双方同意并决定前往明斯克，白俄罗斯随时具备高标准筹办会议的能力。他还表示，白俄罗斯将与美 国恢复正常外交关系。 卢卡申科谈到了乌克兰和平计划，表示他在与特朗普的通话中谈到了该计划。卢卡申科指出，实现和平 必须完成几个阶段，但现在最重要的是停止敌对行动和人员伤亡。 卢卡申科表示，他坚信如果就俄乌冲突达成严肃的协议，欧洲将无法干涉，欧洲方面需要以某种方式参 与这一进程，并发挥自己的作用。他补充说，很多事情也取决于美国总统特朗普的决定。如果俄罗斯和 乌克兰在美国的参与下达成协议，欧洲将面临两个选择："他们（指欧洲方面）将被迫要么吞下苦果， 要么乖乖听话。" 卢卡申科表示，白俄罗斯和俄罗斯将坚持确保乌克兰不会成为一个侵略性国家，也不会成为未来袭击白 俄罗斯和俄罗斯的跳板。他指出，欧洲国家也希望与美国一道充当这样的担保人。关于白俄罗斯提供某 些保障的可能性，卢卡申科表示，白方将参与其中，但不会操之过急。（央视新闻） ...
