Former President of the European Council Donald Tusk told about this in an interview with the Polish edition Onet.

Discussing the latest events in Belarus, Tusk recalled the conversation with Lukashenka, which took place in the spring of 2014.

“I haven’t talked about this before. When Minsk became a kind of mediator between the EU, Russia and Ukraine, the President of Belarus called me - I was still the Prime Minister (of Poland - Ed.). Lukashenko directly proposed to convince the EU that it can be a guarantor of a peaceful solution to the Ukrainian problem and support the idea of ​​a Ukrainian-Belarusian union. With him - as the president of both countries,” Tusk said.

According to him, Lukashenko said that this is not the only way to stop Russian aggression against Ukraine.

According to Tusk, this is how the President of Belarus wanted to check whether he would be able to draw Europe into his game.

Despite this, he says, Lukashenka still played a positive role in the then Ukrainian events, probably referring to the signing of the Minsk agreements.

Donald Tusk criticized Lukashenka's current actions in Belarus, noting that he may be capable of even tougher actions against the protesters.

“I don’t want to make any predictions. I don't know what will happen next. Probably no one, including Lukashenko himself, knows under what scenario everything will unfold. But I’m afraid he’s psychologically capable of crossing the next line.”
