IN FULL

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, after a five-hour meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Friday, revealed that the Russian leader will soon announce a “very good proposal” for ending the war in Ukraine. The proposal, according to Lukashenko, has already been shared with former U.S. President Donald J. Trump during a summit in Alaska last month.

Lukashenko refrained from detailing the contents of the proposal, stating, “President Putin and I discussed it, but I won’t talk about it. The President himself will say.” He described the proposal as favorable for Ukraine, adding, “If the Ukrainians don’t accept these proposals, it will be like it was at the beginning of the special military operation. It will be even worse; they will lose Ukraine.”

Russia’s demands in the past have included territorial concessions from Ukraine, renunciation of NATO membership ambitions, and limitations on Ukraine’s armed forces—conditions Kiev has consistently rejected. Lukashenko suggested that he, Putin, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should meet to negotiate, though Russia insists such a meeting would require Zelensky to travel to Moscow.

In contrast, Trump recently stated that Ukraine could potentially regain all its lost territory due to Russia’s economic struggles, marking a shift in his stance. The Kremlin dismissed these comments, attributing them to Trump’s recent meeting with Zelensky. Lukashenko emphasized that Zelensky must negotiate and agree to the terms supported by the U.S. to avoid further losses.

Lukashenko faces Western sanctions over his support for Russia’s war in Ukraine. However, Trump has recently reached out to him, describing him as a “highly respected” leader and facilitating discussions that led to the release of over 50 political prisoners in Belarus.

Trump Secures Major Prisoner Release.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump announced he spoke with Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, to thank him for the release of 16 prisoners and discuss the potential release of 1,300 more.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko, and the recently released prisoners.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement was made on Truth Social as Trump traveled to Alaska for a meeting with Putin.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Our conversation was a very good one. We discussed many topics, including President Putin’s visit to Alaska. I look forward to meeting President Lukashenko in the future.” – Donald Trump

🎯IMPACT: The discussion highlights international diplomatic efforts and the potential for further prisoner releases in Belarus.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump shared on Truth Social that he spoke with Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko about prisoner releases ahead of his Alaska summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday afternoon. “I had a wonderful talk with the highly respected President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko. The purpose of the call was to thank him for the release of 16 prisoners. We are also discussing the release of 1,300 additional prisoners,” Trump stated.

He related that the conversation “was a very good one,” and that he and Lukashenko “discussed many topics, including President Putin’s visit to Alaska.” He added, “I look forward to meeting President Lukashenko in the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Russia and Belarus are close allies, joined together in a Union State involving deep economic and military ties, although each remains sovereign. Belarus has not participated directly in the Ukraine war, but it has allowed Russian forces to operate from its territory, with the 2022 offensive towards Kiev being launched largely across the Belarusian border.

President Lukashenko pardoned the 16 prisoners, many of whom were charged with extremism—a common charge used against political dissidents in Belarus—last month. Over 1,000 political prisoners are believed to remain detained in the country.

In June, Belarusian political figure Siarhei Tsikhanouski and 13 others were freed and transported to Lithuania, a NATO and European Union (EU) member on the Baltic coast, after a meeting between Trump’s Ukraine envoy, Keith Kellogg, and Lukashenko.

Putin Ally Accuses Once Popular Pokémon GO Game of Being Western Spy Tool.

Belarus, a country allied with Russia and Vladimir Putin, claims the popular mobile phone game Pokémon GO is a tool of Western intelligence and was used to collect data on sensitive sites in the country. Alexander Ivanov, head of ideological work at the Belarusian Defense Ministry, asserts that Pokémon GO was used to spy on Belarusian aviation equipment during its peak popularity.

“Where do you think there were the most Pokémon at that time?” he told local media this week, adding: “On the territory of the 50th air base, where the runway is, where there is a lot of military aviation equipment. That’s where there were the most Pokémon. Is this not intelligence information?”

Russia has also previously criticized the Japanese-developed augmented reality game, with some connecting it to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) through a venture capital firm. Others in Russia have stated it had ties to Satanism and called for the game to be banned in churches and other locations.

While Belarus is a close ally of Russia, the country has not officially sent troops to help Russia in its ongoing conflict with Ukraine. Still, the Belarusian government has been accused of facilitating the Russian invasion by letting Russian forces operate from its territory. Last year, the Biden-Harris regime called on Americans to depart the country immediately, stating there was a potential for civil unrest and risk of detention for Americans.

Earlier this year, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin visited Belarus and stated he was prepared to accept a negotiated ceasefire, but the Ukrainians ultimately rejected this.

EU Globalists Call for Hungary to Be Ejected from Open Borders Agreement.

European Union politicians are calling to remove Hungary from the open borders Schengen Area after the country announced it would be granting work visas to Russians and Belarusians. The policy, effective from early July, enables those from Russia and Belarus to bring their families and potentially secure permanent residency.

The move has drawn criticism from some other EU member states, who fear it could jeopardize European security. Finland’s Social Democratic Parliamentary Group leader Tytti Tuppurainen has called for Hungary’s exclusion from Schengen Area, and EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson warned that the bloc might take action.

However, there are no calls for similar action against Western European member states like Germany and Sweden, which host hundreds of thousands of migrants from countries where radical Islamic terrorism is endemic, such as Afghanistan, Syria, and Somalia.

Over the weekend, 70 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) signed a letter urging the unelected European Commission to investigate Hungary’s decision, which they believe could create a security loophole. The letter also suggested that if Hungary does not amend its policy, the EU should introduce new border controls to protect European citizens.

Hungary’s Foreign Minister, Péter Szijjártó, dismissed security concerns as exaggerated and based on what he called “childish lies.” He asserted that the visa and residence permit process follows Hungarian law.

The move to grant visa access came after Prime Minister Viktor Orbán traveled to Ukraine and Russia in an effort to start peace talks amid the ongoing war between the two countries. Hungary neighbors Ukraine, and hosts hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian refugees.

Orbam later met with former President Donald J. Trump in Florida. He has previously stated that Trump will end the conflict once he is elected.

German Govt Plans Predict 2025 War with Russia.

Germany is readying itself for a potential attack on NATO by Russian forces in 2025, according to leaked plans published by German newspaper Bild.

The secret documents from the German Ministry of Defense detail a step-by-step projection that sees Russia escalating the Ukraine conflict into an all-out European war over the next year and a half. The documents predict that Russia will take Ukraine and then launch cyber attacks and foment violence in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

This violence, the documents claim, would then be used by Putin as a pretense to amass troops in Belarus and Western Russia, before moving more troops and missiles to Kaliningrad, a Russian enclave that lies between Poland and Lithuania. Russian military buildup in the region would then force NATO to engage in a similar troop buildup, which would be portrayed in Russia as proof of an impending attack and used by Putin as casus belli.

“[C]onsidering different scenarios, even if they are extremely unlikely, is part of everyday military business, especially in training,” a German defense official, who refused to comment on the specific doomsday scenario, told Bild.

The secret plans were leaked just days after British PM Rishi Sunak announced a new security agreement with Ukraine and pledged more than $3 billion in additional aid to the country, and also follow a warning by the Swedish civil defense minister that his country could soon find itself in a war.

WATCH: Polish Border Guards Forcefully Repel Migrants As Govt Rebukes EU.

Poland’s government has published video of Middle Eastern migrants attempting to violently breach their border, being repelled with tear gas while trying to pelt border guards with improvised missiles and felled trees.

“Defending the inviolability of the border is an obligation, but also the right of every state,” wrote the Ministry of National Defense on Monday, rebuking those in the European Union who have criticized a robust approach to securing borders.

“Soldiers and service officers defending the Polish border faced and still face a real threat,” they added.

The Polish approach contrasts sharply with that of the Joe Biden regime in America, which has sued state governments in Arizona and Texas to remove border barriers made from shipping containers and water buoys, and had federal agents have cut razor wire installed by state authorities to allow migrants through.

Poland has completed over 155 miles of Trump-style border wall to reinforce its frontier.

U.S. Orders Americans in Belarus to ‘Depart Immediately’.

The U.S. Embassy in Belarus has urged all U.S. citizens in the country to “depart immediately” – and not to go to neighboring Russia or Ukraine.

Americans who may have been planning to travel to Belarus are instructed not to do so, “due to Belarusian authorities’ continued facilitation of Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine, the buildup of Russian military forces in Belarus, the arbitrary enforcement of local laws, the potential of civil unrest, the risk of detention, and the Embassy’s limited ability to assist U.S. citizens residing in or traveling to Belarus.”

Led by Aleksandr Lukashenko, Belarus is officially not a party the war in Ukraine – but it was used as a staging ground by Russian forces during the early stages of the invasion, and now hosts Wagner Group mercenaries who departed Russia following an abortive march on Moscow.

It has been targeted by Western sanctions along with Russia, and Vladimir Putin moved nuclear weapons into the country in June. Lukashenko vowed to use these weapons in the event of foreign “aggression” last week.
