Belarusian President Aliaksandr Lukashenka offered to meet his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy anywhere — in Ukraine or Belarus — as Kyiv warned that Russia was preparing a new offensive through Belarusian territory toward the capital and the Chernihiv region.
"If (Zelenskyy) wants to discuss something, seek advice, or anything else, please do. We are open to it," Lukashenka said on Friday, according to the state-controlled media outlets.
