Belarusian dictator Oleksandr Lukashenko said on Tuesday that Ukraine had offered him a non-aggression pact despite the fact that it continues to “train militants” who he says pose a potential security threat to Belarus, TASS reported.

“I don’t know why Ukrainians do this. On the one hand, they ask us not to fight with Ukraine under any circumstances, so that our troops do not move there. They propose to sign a non-aggression pact,” Lukashenko said at a meeting on the socio-political situation and crime in Belarus.

He also stated that the leaders of Poland and Lithuania are “generally insane” and pose threats to Belarus.

“Why do they do this? Not clear. That is why we are forced to react harshly,” said the dictator from Minsk.

“We have enough problems along the perimeter – both in the air and on the ground at the land border. We have enough problems there,” he said.

Lukashenko accused Ukraine of wanting to attack Belarus

In October last year, after announcing the creation of joint military forces with Russia, which will be stationed on the territory of Belarus, Lukashenko motivated this measure by the fact that Ukraine would prepare an attack on his country.

“Their masters are pushing for a war against Belarus in order to drag us into it. To deal simultaneously with Russia and Belarus, he said on October 10.

He said he had been “warned” of the attack, without specifying the source of the warning.

Later, during a meeting with his generals that same day, Lukashenko told them that the decision was actually made because of a possible threat from Poland.

“Poland is just trembling, demanding that the Americans immediately bring and place nuclear weapons in Poland, including Germany’s nuclear arsenal,” he told, among other things, high-ranking officials in Minsk.
