Lukashenko invites Macron: "Merkel and Starmer are still young, the Italian Prime Minister is a woman — come over, let's talk like men."

But Macron refused this so-called "men's conversation".

Reported by Russia's Komsomolskaya Pravda on May 30.

Alexander Lukashenko recounted during a press conference his conversation with Macron, claiming that the French president had warned Minsk not to get involved in war.

The result? It was Macron who ended up being warned instead.

Yet he ignored the advice of the elders and declined to have an honest, man-to-man dialogue.

Last day, a large-scale presidential press conference took place in Kazakhstan, coinciding with the summit of the Supreme Council of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).

However, before Russian President Putin’s press conference began, journalists had already spoken with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.

The content from that session was equally intriguing.

Lukashenko described how he urged Macron to negotiate with Putin:

"You're a seasoned player — it's time to act.

Merkel and Starmer are still young, the Italian Prime Minister is a woman.

Come to Minsk — I’ll pick you up. You need to come over and talk like men."

Macron responded that he needed to consult with his European neighbors first.

Now we see that this “man-to-man dialogue” ultimately never happened.

Instead, Macron leaked the details of high-level talks to French journalists.

Even worse, he allowed media to stream his conversation with Putin online.

This has never happened in the history of such interactions.

As a result, for a long period, the Kremlin even stopped answering Macron’s calls.

Later, the “window of opportunity” for dialogue with Putin reopened — but the French president failed to seize it.

Instead, he started threatening…

For example, Macron once tried to warn Lukashenko not to “get involved” in the war against Ukraine.

Belarusian President Lukashenko acknowledged having such a conversation, saying:

"Macron knows me well — he knows it’s best not to warn me.

I think through every decision a thousand times before acting, and as you know, I always consider consequences — unlike their (European opponents).

It’s truly surprising what Macron said: reports say you’re planning to join the war.

I replied: 'God bless you.' I even interrupted him — I have no intention of joining any war. Why would I get involved?"

Macron said: "You conducted nuclear exercises with Putin — you're almost provoking nuclear war. Do you really intend to use nuclear weapons?"

I said: "I’ve publicly stated — only under one condition: if Belarus is attacked. That’s it."

So now Macron needs to exercise restraint — don’t act aggressively.

The same applies to Ukraine.

Otherwise, everyone clearly understands the consequences. Frankly speaking, nobody wants to see such outcomes.
