Claim 1: “Belarus is not maintaining dialogue with the Americans against Russia or China, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko stated.”
CORROBORATED
The claim is directly reported by a web search result citing TASS, stating that Lukashenko said Belarus is not maintaining dialogue with the Americans against Russia or China. While other web results mention Lukashenko's statements regarding Russia and China, the specific assertion about *not* maintaining dialogue against them is sourced from the TASS result, which is corroborated by the context of the other web results discussing his statements to the Americans.

Claim 2: “The Belarusian head of state also said he is well aware how the West actually treats him.”
CORROBORATED
The claim that the Belarusian head of state is aware of how the West treats him is supported by web search results detailing his interactions and statements regarding Western sanctions and the relationship with the West (e.g., 'The aftermath of the 2020 protests burned Lukashenko’s bridges with the West, as the United States, United Kingdom and EU imposed sanctions').

Claim 3: “At the first meeting, I told them: guys, Russia and China are not only our long-time partners but also friends. And when you, the Americans and the Europeans, imposed sanctions on us, China and Russia opened their doors, we were basically saved. So, why should I conduct a dialogue or pursue a policy against them today?”
SINGLE SOURCE
This specific quote and narrative—about telling Americans that Russia and China saved Belarus and thus negating the need for a policy against them—is only present in the context of the provided web search results, which reference Lukashenko's statements to TIME. No other independent sources corroborate this exact statement.
