President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko says Ukraine has been left alone with the problem of Donbas.

"We've left [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky one-on-one with this heavy burden, with these problems that are not his problems," he said at the Minsk Dialogue Forum on Tuesday, according to the Belarusian Telegraph Agency (BelTA).
