Russian President Vladimir Putin was deceived into withdrawing troops from near Kiev in 2022 by forces claiming to represent Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has said.<\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with Al Arabiya, Lukashenko said the conflict could have ended quickly in the early stages, when Russian forces were near the Ukrainian capital.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the time, not only I, but everyone in the world understood that the war would end quickly with a Russian victory. This was primarily because the Russians were in Kiev,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0the Belarusian leader said, according to BelTA.<\/p>\n

Lukashenko claimed, however, that\u00a0\u201ccertain politicians and forces\u201d<\/em>\u00a0asked Putin to stop,\u00a0pull the troops back from Kiev<\/a>, and conclude a peace agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore that withdrawal, everyone understood that Ukraine\u2019s days were numbered.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Belarusian president argued that Russia was acting on what appeared to be a genuine opportunity to reach a settlement, adding:\u00a0\u201cJudge for yourselves who was right and who was wrong in this matter.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOnce again, probably, these forces deceived him. It was the Vatican. And surprisingly, the Jewish lobby, the Israelis,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Lukashenko said.\u00a0\u201cThey said on behalf of Zelensky: That\u2019s it, we are moving toward peace, we agree. And others as well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It was not immediately clear what exactly Lukashenko meant by the\u00a0\u201cJewish lobby.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0In the early days of the conflict, then-Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett acted as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine, meeting Putin in Moscow and holding phone calls with Zelensky. Media reports at the time claimed that Bennett urged Zelensky to\u00a0accept Moscow\u2019s terms<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lukashenko did not elaborate on the Vatican\u2019s alleged role. In March 2022, however,\u00a0Pope Francis and Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill<\/a>\u00a0held a video call in which they stressed the\u00a0\u201cexceptional importance\u201d<\/em>\u00a0of the negotiation process.<\/p>\n

Moscow and Kiev held several rounds of peace talks in Istanbul in March 2022. Putin said in June 2023 that Ukrainian negotiators initialed a draft treaty on permanent neutrality and security guarantees, but that Kiev later abandoned the deal after Russian troops withdrew from areas near the Ukrainian capital.<\/p>\n

Russia has argued that Ukraine walked away from the agreement under Western pressure. Then-UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson reportedly urged Kiev not to sign a deal and\u00a0\u201ccontinue fighting.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Kiev has disputed Moscow\u2019s account of the failed talks, even though former chief negotiator David Arakhamia has\u00a0acknowledged Johnson\u2019s role<\/a>. Ukraine has since formally applied to join NATO and abandoned discussions of neutrality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
