Lukašenka claims that Belarus is not participating in the war against Ukraine and is not going to
March 1, BPN. Belarus has not taken and is not taking any part in the hostilities in Ukraine, said Aliaksandr Lukašenka on March 1 in Minsk at a meeting with members of the Security Council and the government.
According to him, now the “operation” (this term is used by the Russian leadership, followed by representatives of the Belarusian authorities, to substitute the term “war”) “is conducted in following directions: from Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk in the direction of Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Kharkiv.”
He claims that Moscow has never raised before Minsk the question of the participation of the Belarusian army in the war. “We are not going to participate in this special operation in Ukraine. There is no such need. We are covering the state border from Brest to Mazyr with our own forces to prevent the penetration of radicals and weapons into the country,” Lukašenka’s press service quotes him as saying.
According to him, the Belarusian authorities are “constantly expecting provocations from their Western partners: either in politics, or in economy, or in the military sphere.”
Lukašenka once again blamed the West, calling its policy “reckless” and aimed at “promotion of its interests to the detriment of the security of others.”
