President Lukashenko suggested Minsk as the best venue for talks about Ukraine, although a meeting between the U.S., Russia, and Ukraine was not formally discussed. Recently, the Kremlin has responded to Lukashenko's proposal.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko -- a close ally of President Vladimir Putin -- warned that the Kremlin "will never" accept a European deployment to Ukraine.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he received a letter from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in which the Ukrainian leader expressed willingness to come to the negotiating table over the Russia-Ukraine war.
