"This is a war": Lukashenko warned Putin from attempts to join Belarus

According to the politician, if Russia captures Belarus, it will face a wave of terrorist attacks and "guerrillas", since the people will not suffer losses of sovereignty. Belarus leader Oleksandr Lukashenko spoke against the possible accession of Belarus to Russia. Lukashenko stressed that any attempt to eliminate Belarusian sovereignty will be determined by the Belarusian people and can lead to grave consequences for the two countries.

He told about it in an interview with the Russian newspaper "Izvestia", published on October 25. "Any movement of the body of any politician in this direction-it will be demolished by the Belarusian people," Lukashenko said, noting that historically, Belarus and Russia exist as two independent states. He stressed that he would not allow the sovereignty of Belarus and that the population of the country would not allow it. "You are smaller, we are more, and we have an economy like this.

We will help you continue to enter Russia. So the question cannot be asked. It is impossible and cannot Our relationship with Putin. - added Lukashenko.

The politician also emphasized the importance of "economic integration and mutual assistance" within the framework of the Union State, but expressed a decisive disagreement with the prospect of merging: "We can build such relationships that will be closer and stronger than in a unitary state," - added Belarus leader, clarifying that such a close relationship is possible without loss of independence and sovereignty of both countries.

According to Lukashenko, Belarus has always been a reliable partner for Russia, but he categorically does not support the idea of ​​violent accession: "I often say that Putin and I are not stupid people . . . And to preserve two sovereign states, "he added, urging the Russian leadership to abandon such ideas.

Lukashenko also noted that the issue of integration should be resolved in the light of changed world order, and the ideas of territorial hobbies, in his opinion, are not useful in the modern world. "Today you can tilt, win something, and tomorrow what? What? Then?" - he emphasized, hinting at the examples of international conflicts, where such actions led to negative and prolonged consequences. "Such a huge country can be lifted without consequences? No.

What do we want to get there constantly guerrillas and they have been carrying terrorist attacks against us and Russians? They will do it. Why? Because they will be pushed. They will bring at least a terrorist attack at any time. We will remind, Oleksandr Lukashenko earlier stated that Putin regrets that he began the war against Ukraine. However, according to him, the Russian president firmly believes that he is right and is motivated to continue the war against Ukraine.
