The United States plan to conclude an agreement with Belarus, according to which the country should release some political prisoners.
As part of the US agreement, sanctions on Belarusian banks and potassium exports will also weaken.
According to the New York Times, another important goal is to give Dictator Alexander Lukashenko a little to exhale from the orbit of Russia.
Chris Smith, deputy assistant to the US Secret Secretary for Europe, met in Minsk with the chairman of Lukashenko and KGB Ivan Tetel and discussed the terms of the agreement, writes New York Times.
The publication, referring to the sources, reports that Chris Smith at a diplomat meeting in Vilnius said that the liberation of a US citizen and two Belarusian political prisoners could be the first step towards a large large -scale agreement between Washington and Minsk. The American diplomat noted that Washington is trying to achieve, in particular, to reduce the impact of Moscow on Minsk.
According to Smith, under the agreement, Lukashenko can release many political prisoners, including well -known ones, and the United States instead will weaken sanctions against Belarusian banks and potassium export – a key ingredient in fertilizers, the main manufacturer of which is Belarus.
We clearly understand what Russians are going to do with Belarus. We will talk about this with the United States. Russia will prepare 15 divisions for training and strengthening situations in the Belarusian direction, said the President of Ukraine in Belarus in the Munich conflict.
100-150 thousand people, a large group. I’m not sure that it will be offensive in Ukraine, Poland may be the Baltic countries, ”said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
