Claim 1: “Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko stated on Thursday that he was ready to meet with Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky anywhere in Ukraine or Belarus and discuss bilateral problems”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The provided evidence contains general information about Alexander Lukashenko, Vladimir Zelenskyy, and the Russo-Ukrainian war, but none of the sources specifically confirm that Lukashenko stated on a 'Thursday' that he was ready to meet Zelenskyy 'anywhere in Ukraine or Belarus' to discuss bilateral problems. One web result mentions Lukashenko discussing a 'possible settlement' with Putin, but this does not corroborate the specific offer to meet Zelenskyy in either country.
