Belarus will not take part in military action in Ukraine, theater of the Russian invasion since last Thursday. “He has never done it” and “we can prove it to everyone”. This was stated by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, an ally of Vladimir Putin, according to statements reported by the BBC. “The Russian leadership has never raised with us the question of our involvement in the armed conflict”, he said again, arguing that “we do not intend to take part in this special operation in Ukraine in the future”, said the Belarusian leader.
TROOPS IN UKRAINE – Lukashenko’s words, however, contradict the information reported by The Kyiv Independent, according to which the “Belarusian troops entered Ukrainein the Ukrainian Oblast of Chernihiv to assist Russia in its war. “
DRAGHI – Prime Minister Mario Draghi also spoke on the involvement of Belarus. “In the face of the strengthening of defensive measures on the eastern flank of NATO, President Putin has put the Russian deterrence forces on alert, including the nuclear defensive device. It is a serious gesture which, however, demonstrates how much the resistance of the Ukrainians and the sanctions imposed on the Russia are effective. Another worrying signal comes from neighboring Belarus, whose citizens on Sunday voted in favor of some major changes to the Constitution and eliminated the status of a ‘nuclear-free’ country. This could imply a willingness to deploy nuclear weapons on their soil. from other countries “, said the premier speaking to the Senate.
