Ukrainian Foreign Ministry calls Lukashenko a "cockroach"

A representative of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Heorhiy Tykhiy, has reacted to recent statements by self-proclaimed Belarusian President Aliaksandr Lukashenka. The latter called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a "rotter" in an interview with TV presenter Olga Skabeeva. The incident was written about in his post by the speaker of the Foreign Ministry of Ukraine, Georgy Tykhii.

He stressed that insults against Zelensky are unacceptable, especially from a co-conspirator of Russian aggression.

Insults against the head of the Ukrainian state are inadmissible, especially by an accomplice of the crime of aggression against Ukraine. In addition, the transition to the field of entomology will definitely not go in favour of the cockroach, wrote Tykhiy.

Yesterday, during his visit to Moscow, Lukashenka gave an interview to Russian propagandist Olga Skabeyeva. In particular, he spoke about possible negotiations, the Ukrainian authorities and directly about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. At the same time, he said that Moscow has no one to conduct dialogue in Europe or Ukraine.

And when Skabeeva recalled that in the spring of 2023, Lukashenko called Zelensky a "rotter", the Belarusian dictator said: "Volodya was like a son to me, but he acted like a rotter."
