Saboteurs are trained in Ukrainian camps to fight against our people, Lukašenka

February 24, BPN. At a meeting with the representatives of the power bloc on February 24, Aliaksandr Lukašenka claimed that saboteurs were trained in Ukrainian camps “to fight in Belarus against our people.”

“Nothing will happen in the south in the near future,” Lukašenka was quoted as saying by his press service. “Even if it does, we have enough forces and means there. We must fear only provocateurs and saboteurs in the south, scumbags, including those bandits and our fugitives, who are trained in their camps to fight here in Belarus against our people.”

He said that now it was necessary to concentrate efforts on protection of the state border in the west, because “the situation is under control” in the south.

In the early morning of February 24, Vladimir Putin announced the start of a “military operation” in Ukraine after the appeal of the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics with a request to “provide assistance in repelling Kyiv’s aggression.” He stated that the Russian Federation was striving for the “demilitarization and denazification” of Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has imposed martial law throughout the country and announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Russia.
