Belarus’ dialogue with Americans not directed against Russia or China — Lukashenko
Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko stated that Belarus is not maintaining dialogue with the United States against Russia or China. He argued that because Russia and China are long-time partners who provided support when Western sanctions were imposed, he has no reason to pursue a policy against them. Lukashenko asserted that his actions as president must be based on the interests of the Belarusian people.

“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.

“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?”

“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').
