Previously, Belarus did not recognise the illegal armed formation.

"We need to rebuild. We need to revive industrial enterprises and agriculture. After all, people will live there. This is 100%. We need to feed people. That is why we are ready to provide appropriate assistance and support so that people who are not strangers to us finally stop suffering," Lukashenko says.

Moreover, the Belarusian "president" asked Pushilin about the situation at the front and asked if he could help.
