Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has proposed considering the deployment of a joint UN-OSCE peacekeeping mission in Ukraine.

"We need to continue to look for a mutually acceptable solution to the deployment of peacekeepers in Donbas. Perhaps it makes sense to consider the deployment of a joint UN and OSCE mission in Ukraine," Lukashenko said at a Munich Security Conference Core Group Meeting in Minsk on Wednesday.

This mission could comprise military service members, police members, and civilian personnel from countries that have been contributing as much as they can to the conflict's resolution, he said.

"It must be ensured that this mission is deployed in a phased manner," Lukashenko said.

Lukashenko also proposed deploying a technical office of the Trilateral Contact Group for Ukraine in Minsk. "We stand ready to consider the establishment of a technical office of the Trilateral Contact Group in Minsk," he said.

Lukashenko said he believes no one has been able to handle the conflict in southeastern Ukraine so far.

"We have to admit now that nobody has been able to resolve the problem of ending the hostilities in southeastern Ukraine. Neither the Normandy Quartet, nor the Trilateral Contact Group, nor the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission in Ukraine, nor the Volker-Surkov format," he said.

"Let's be honest: a solution to the conflict in Donbas could have been found long ago if desired. It's necessary to keep on working to empower the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission and the Trilateral Contact Group," he said.

"It is important to complement the diplomatic dialogue with interrelations between parliamentarians, members of regional administrations, civil society and experts," he said.
