Helped win time: People's Deputy Shevchenko told how negotiations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation were going

Yevgeny Shevchenko recalled how, together with the head of the GUR of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov organized a telephone call of the President of Ukraine with the leader of Belarus, which was necessary for guarantees of safety of the Ukrainian negotiation group.

In a comment to the Media "Strane" on Tuesday, May 16, he confirmed that the first days of a full -scale invasion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko negotiated with a Russian delegation on the outcome of the war. According to the politician, Russia has sent its delegation under Gomel (Belarus).

In turn, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that he did not see security guarantees for the managers by our country. At this stage, negotiations between the Ukrainian leader and the head of Belarus were also needed. However, Volodymyr Zelenskyy himself did not intend to call Alexander Lukashenko. "I already understood the psychology of President Zelensky that he would not call Lukashenko because they attacked Ukraine.

My task was to make Lukashenko call Zelensky himself and gave guarantees of safety of our group," Shevchenko said. He organized a conversation with the Presidents of Russia and Belarus together with GUR Kirill Budanov.
