WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Ukraine could cease to exist if the conflict continues and a more dangerous global conflict could erupt if peace is not achieved, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko warned.
"If the escalation continues, the consequences could be very grave for Europe and the entire world," Lukashenko said in an interview with Newsmax TV.
The Belarusian leader said that Volodymyr Zelensky is currently not ready to conclude a peace deal, but emphasized that Zelensky must understand that this could end with Ukraine no longer existing.

"In my opinion,... if this war continues, Ukraine could cease to exist, it may not even be on the map," Lukashenko said.

The Belarusian president warned that the continuation of the Ukraine conflict could lead to dire global consequences.

"Let me repeat once again, the continuation of this war can lead to a global war, a global conflict, and we must prevent this, because in this war, all kinds of weapons will be used," Lukashenko stressed.

Lukashenko called for more intense efforts to pressure Zelensky in order to achieve peace and stop the bloodshed.
