"Step to escalation": Lukashenko spoke about the participation of the DPRK troops in the war against Ukraine
According to the Belarusian politician, such a step can lead to escalation that the event is supposedly only needed. "It will be a step to the escalation of the conflict if the armed forces of any country, even Belarus, are on the collision line. Even if we got into the war, because you, Anglo-Saxons, will immediately say that on the one hand another country came into Ukraine, and Ukraine NATO troops will be introduced.
" Journalist Steve Rosenberg asked Lukashenko if Putin had ever tried to attract an army of Belarus in the war. He replied that he had never discussed it with any of the Russian Federation. When Rosenberg recalled that in February 2022, Russian troops would occur north of Ukraine from the territory of Belarus, Lukashenko was indignant. "How do you know that I gave permission to use the Belarusian territory?" He asked.
The Belarusian politician also stated that there were military exercises with the participation of thousands of soldiers of the Russian Federation on the territory of the RB. According to him, Putin began to take away the troops just that is located in the south of Belarus near the border with Ukraine. "At some point, he redirected some of these troops to Kiev," he said. Lukashenko also said that Russian invaders could have been provoked. "Putin himself decides how to bring his troops.
Or he could go through Minsk," he said. According to Lukashenko, he did not call Putin to find out what was happening. We will remind, in an interview with the propagandist Olga Skabey's Belarusian politician said that Putin regrets about the war against Ukraine. However, the Kremlin head firmly believes that it is motivated to continue fighting against Ukrainians. Earlier it was reported that the Russian Federation and Belarus are preparing for major joint military exercises.
