  "textContent": "Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has spoken about the reasons behind Russia's withdrawal from Kyiv in 2022. According to him, Russian President Vladimir Putin made the decision in an effort to restore peace after appeals from what he described as \"certain politicians and forces.\"\nLukashenko claimed that the war dragged on because the Vatican and what he called the \"Jewish lobby” deceived Putin by asking him to withdraw troops from Kyiv in 2022.\n\"The Russians were in Kyiv. Then certain politicians and forces asked Putin to stop, withdraw troops from Kyiv and conclude a peace agreement. Seeing the situation, seeing that many people were dying and that the war, frankly speaking, was not unfolding entirely according to the original scenario, Putin agreed and withdrew his forward units from Kyiv. Do you remember that? Before that withdrawal, everyone understood that Ukraine's days were numbered.",
