Lukashenko hits back at Trump: Not for him to decide who leads Ukraine
–
Neutral summary
Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko said on Friday, October 16, that it is not Donald Trump who decides who will become Ukraine's president. “It is not Trump who decides. It is the Ukrainian people who will decide who will become the president of Ukraine,” he said, responding to the US president's statement that it was time for Ukraine to choose a new president. Lukashenko also urged Volodymyr Zelensky to take part in elections. Earlier the same day, Ukraine's ambassador to Serbia, Oleksandr Litvinenko, said the decision on who will be Ukraine's president depends solely on its citizens and expressed hope that disagreements between Trump and Zelensky would be overcome. He added that Russia is not giving up its demands while Ukraine rejects them, and that peace must not mean the loss of territory.
