Belarusian leader Lukashenko claims he conveyed the nation's struggles to Trump, receiving reassuring words in response.
In a recent phone conversation on August 15, 2025, self-proclaimed Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko spoke with US President Donald Trump. According to Lukashenko, the conversation revolved around Belarus' current difficult situation.
During the conversation, Lukashenko claims that Trump expressed sympathy for Belarus, stating that it is a challenging time for the country both on the east and on the west. He also states that Trump studied the situation in Belarus during their conversation.
However, Lukashenko did not fulfill the request for the mass release of prisoners as requested by his US counterpart. This development comes after Lukashenko's statements were based on an interview he gave to Chinese television.
Lukashenko also claimed that there is war on the south and that his Baltic neighbors on the north have gone mad. He further stated that Trump offered him words of support during the conversation, with Trump allegedly saying, "I wish you success, your country is in such a difficult place and at such a difficult time that only a strong leader can cope with it."
The conversation took place before Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Trump mentioned the United States and Russia as countries observing the situation in Belarus during their conversation, with no other specific countries named in the context of observing Belarus.
The source of this information is "European Truth" citing "Mirror". It is important to note that these are Lukashenko's claims and the veracity of these statements has not been independently confirmed.
Belarus, according to Lukashenko, is currently in a difficult situation. The future developments in the region remain to be seen.
