As the Belarusian leader noted, ill-wishers are again targeting Russia and Belarus to make them “the best.” And in this situation, according to Lukashenko, it is important to answer the question: “Where will we be?”

“We respond and will respond. Be sure of this. We will preserve our civilization. You can be sure of this,” Lukashenko assured at the requiem concert dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the complete liberation of Leningrad from the siege.

In addition, Lukashenko also emphasized that Moscow and Minsk do not want war and call for peaceful dialogue.
