Lukashenko claims Ukraine is denazified, calls for immediate peace talks​

Sunday, August 18, 2024 11:00:19 AM




During an interview with Russia's Channel One, self-proclaimed President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko stated that the "denazification" of Ukraine has already taken place, urging peace talks just a week after.

"You sometimes talk about Nazis. There are no Nazis anymore. Ukraine has been denazified. Only a few insane Nazis remain, but they are no longer in trend. Today, over 70 percent of people hate Zelensky because he promised one thing and does another, and people are dying," said Lukashenko.

He also called on Russia and Ukraine to resume peace talks to end the war.

"Let's sit down at the negotiating table and end this fighting. It is not needed by the Ukrainian people, nor by Russians or Belarusians. It is needed by them. I can't disclose these facts, they are absolutely classified, where high-ranking people openly say: 'Let the Ukrainians, Russians fight each other – let everyone die in this cauldron,'" said the Belarusian dictator.

According to him, the Istanbul agreements of 2022 should form the basis for these negotiations.

“Let's open that notebook, where the negotiators, leaders from your side, practically initialed. Putin sent it to me immediately. Yes, the situation on the ground has changed, but this can be the starting point,” Lukashenko believes.

He noted that he "agrees with Putin" that by launching an operation in the Kursk region, Ukraine raised the stakes to improve their position during negotiations, but considers such a move wrong because "Russia has not yet started to fight seriously."

Lukashenko's stance on the need for talks between Kyiv and Moscow has already been echoed by Russian and Belarusian media on Thursday.

Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council, Andriy Kovalenko, remarked that such statements may indicate Putin's request to initiate talks..

"After all, in Lukashenko's lengthy speech, the idea is embedded that 'the goal has already been achieved,'" noted Kovalenko.

A Russian murder convict joined Wagner, went home, killed again, then got out a 2nd time by joining the army: rights group​

• A Russian man has been freed to fight in Ukraine a second time after returning and killing a woman.
• Ivan Rossomakhin, 29, was initially recruited by Wagner while serving a prison sentence for murder.
• He later returned and murdered an 85-year-old woman, before the Russian army recruited him again, a rights group said.

A Russian man convicted of murder and released to fight in Ukraine returned from the front and killed another victim, but has now been freed a second time, according to multiple reports and a legal rights group.

The news comes as independent Russian media outlets circulated a letter announcing the man's release on August 19.
Ivan Rossomakhin, 29, was originally sentenced in September 2020 to 14 years in a maximum security penal colony for murder and violent robbery, said the legal rights group Travmpunkt.
Court records show Rossomakhin committed this first murder in Kirov in October 2019, when he was drunk and killed a woman with whom he quarreled.
During his first prison sentence, Rossomakhin was recruited by the Wagner mercenary group, which was accepting convicts into its ranks, in September 2022, per Travmpunkt.

The legal rights group said that after spending time on the front, Rossomakhin returned home to Kirov.
A local court found that upon his return, Rossomakhin killed a second time, invading an 85-year-old woman's home in March 2023 with a bladed weapon and murdering and raping her.
Rossomakhin was given a new sentence of 22 years in prison, which Travmpunkt said was extended to 23 years.
But he was released a second time on August 19, after being recruited by the Russian Defense Ministry, per documents reposted on Telegram by independent Russian media.

The BBC reported that the document was signed by the prison governor of a detention facility where Rossomakhin was held.
Travmpunkt, which represents the relatives of the 85-year-old woman who was the man's second murder victim, said on Monday that prison officials informed the family of Rossomakhin's release.
He is still obligated by law to pay 2 million rubles, or about $22,000, to the victim's family, per Travmpunkt.
The group added that Rossomakhin had served less than six months of his 23-year sentence before being shipped off again to Ukraine.
"My first reaction was terror," Anna Pekareva, the granddaughter of the murdered woman, Yulia Byuskikh, told the BBC. "I read the forensic reports and I know what this person did to my grandmother. It's monstrous that he has been released again."
Pekareva told the outlet that she feared Rossomakhin would seek revenge on her family for pushing the courts for his life sentence.
Press teams for the Kremlin and Russian Ministry of Defense did not immediately respond to requests for comment sent outside regular business hours by Business Insider.

Russia initially recruited thousands of prisoners to fight in Ukraine through the Wagner Group, but the practice soon slowed because convicts feared they would be treated poorly on the frontline.
The Kremlin pardons some prison recruits if they show bravery or fight long enough, with Wagner claiming in March 2023 that only less than 1% of some 5,000 pardoned men had reoffended.
The Russian Defense Ministry took over Wagner's prison recruitment drive in early 2023, with an estimate from the UK's intelligence services saying about 10,000 prisoners signed up in April of that year alone.
Ukraine also recruits prisoners to fight against Russia but does not accept those convicted of rape or multiple murders.
Both Kyiv and Moscow have been hard-pressed to maintain the manpower they need on the front lines, with Ukraine cracking down on men attempting to flee the fighting and the Kremlin continually raising pay bonuses for army volunteers.
