Lukashenko Steps Back From Zelenskyy's Ultimatum as Deadline Looms

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko appears to be retreating from an ultimatum set by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as the deadline approaches. The Ukrainian leader reportedly issued conditions to the Minsk regime, with the ultimatum set to expire on Friday.

Lukashenko has embarked on an extended official trip following the issuance of the ultimatum. Meanwhile, Kyiv has indicated that the ongoing five-year war could potentially spread to another country. This development raises concerns about regional stability and the broader implications of the conflict.

A Kyiv-based expert told "Rzeczpospolita" that "Ukraine is not bluffing," underscoring the seriousness of the situation. The expert's statement suggests that Ukraine is prepared to act on its demands, adding a layer of tension to the already volatile geopolitical landscape.

The exact nature of Zelenskyy's ultimatum and Lukashenko's response remains unclear, but the situation points to a significant diplomatic and potentially military standoff between the two nations, with Belarus caught in the middle.
