Lukashenko: Belarus is not going to be drawn into the war in Ukraine, there is no need for that
Commenting on the statements and threats made by Vladimir Zelensky in this regard, the President said:
"As for his statements that Belarus will be drawn into the war, I have just said that it will only be drawn into the war if our territory is attacked. And then it will not be drawn into the war (as you have heard from the President of Russia) - we will defend our Fatherland together from Brest to Vladivostok, where two countries are located. Therefore, if we are to be drawn into a war, including if it is against Ukraine, it will only be in one case - if they commit aggression against us. We do not intend to be drawn into a war in Ukraine. There is no need for this. Neither civil nor military."
"If he wants to talk about something, consult, or do something else, please, we are open to it. I am ready to meet with him at any point in Ukraine or Belarus and discuss the issues of Belarusian-Ukrainian relations. And maybe we can talk about the future. For some reason, we have something to talk about with the Americans, Germans, Poles, Lithuanians, and Latvians, but not with Ukraine," said Aleksandr Lukashenko.
