If peaceful negotiations on Ukraine do take place in Minsk, on that same day the European Union, Ukraine, and the United States could present Alyaksandr Lukashenka with an ultimatum, believes Pavel Latushka, deputy head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus and head of the People's Anti-Crisis Administration. According to him, possible negotiations are perhaps the only window of opportunity for Belarusians in the near future. When it might open, what Belarusian democratic forces intend to put on the table, and why the OSCE Secretary General came to Minsk – the politician discussed this in the Belsat studio.
