Lukashenko referred to Zelensky as a "bad showman" in response to his comments about a strike on the Mozyr Oil Refinery.

This was shared by Lukashenko with journalists.

According to him, when he heard Zelensky's words, he felt unwell. He claimed that he could not himself suggest to the Ukrainian president to strike at the "best in the world" Mozyr Oil Refinery.

"I swear to you, that never happened. Well, why do you say that? You're a bad showman. You're not even Trump," added Lukashenko.

He also mentioned that a strike on the Mozyr Oil Refinery would not be beneficial for him, as he would have to respond to it, which would drag Belarus into the war.

What statement by Zelensky is being referred to?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in an interview with American podcaster Lex Fridman, stated that Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko apologized in the early days of the great war and insisted that he was not responsible for the missiles being launched from his country's territory.

According to Zelensky, Lukashenko claimed that he tried to dissuade Russian President Vladimir Putin from attacking Ukraine, while convincing the Ukrainian side that "one should not fight with the Russians."

Then, according to Zelensky, Lukashenko suggested that Ukraine respond by striking the Mozyr Oil Refinery in Belarus.

Subsequently, Lukashenko's spokesperson countered that he had apologized to Zelensky for the shelling of Ukraine from Belarusian territory.
