“All law enforcement structures note an increase in the number of calls near the state border. Ukraine, under any pretext, is trying to involve the troops of NATO member countries in the conflict,” Lukashenko said during a meeting on the military-political situation in the vicinity of Belarus.

In his opinion, the proof of this is the fall of a missile on the territory of Poland, which the West initially considered to be of Russian origin, but later expressed the opinion that the missile could have been launched by Ukraine and mistakenly fell on the territory of Poland. .

Lukashenko insisted that Belarus “so far succeeded in preventing the use of military force by a potential adversary against his country.”

However, the autocratic leader from Minsk asked the Belarusian defense departments to continue to constantly monitor any signs of possible “preparation of direct aggression against our country.” (Source Agerpres)
