MINSK. May 15 (Interfax) - Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said he was ready to render any assistance and support to Ukraine but strongly objected to mediation.
"If you need any help - excluding mediation, this is out of the question, I hate mediation - if you need the help of a person who takes everything that is happening in Ukraine very close to heart, I am ready to give you this support any time, the assistance you may need," Lukashenko told Ukrainian Ambassador Mykhailo Yezhel in Minsk on Thursday.
