Ignoring China's position on the conflict in Ukraine will lead to negative consequences, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has warned. His words, spoken during a conversation with Chinese journalists, are quoted by the BelTA news agency.

The Belarusian leader pointed out that Chinese President Xi Jinping is preparing to deliver a message on the situation in Ukraine. “If this message, which will sound from the lips of the leader of China, is not heard by those to whom it is addressed, this will also have serious consequences,” Lukashenka noted.
