Łukašenka tells about KGB-FSB operation to capture “terrorist”

April 6, BPN. At the Union State’s supreme council meeting on April 6, Alaksandr Łukašenka said the Belarusian KGB and the Russian FSB carried out a special operation to capture a terrorist.

“We and [FSB Director] Alexander Vasilyevich Bortnikov finished an operation today. We will inform the public in the near future. We detained a terrorist who had entered Belarus, and they [enemies] wanted to take him to another country through Russia. We conducted an FSB-KGB operation. We took down the entire network. The Russians finalize other activities, in Russia,” Łukašenka said.

He went on to say that “weapons began to flow from Ukraine to Russia, through Russia to us. Our border with Ukraine is permanently closed, and weapons are flowing through Bryansk and other regions.”

“There are caches of weapons and explosives, both in Belarus and in Russia. They come and take these things,” Łukašenka said.

“Most likely, no one is carrying ammunition and explosives in their pockets across the border. The caches are here,” he said. “So yesterday we had a very serious discussion about security in this regard [apparently with Vladimir Putin]. I think we can handle it.”

Łukašenka, an avid supporter of Russian military aggression against Ukraine, claimed in his state of the union address on March 31 that Western countries were preparing “to invade Belarus to destroy our country.”
