“Of course, we will not spare money on this (defense - RT ). Find this money. But we are not Russia, which has hydrocarbons, not America, which prints dollars. We don’t have so much money, so our main principle in the defense of the country is unacceptable damage to the enemy. We must proceed from this, ”Belta quotes Lukashenko.

At the same time, he noted that the Belarusian side "does not rattle with arms."

“If they are going to fight with us, then we will be guided by the fact that we can inflict unacceptable damage on these opponents. I don’t want to concretize, so that later my bones are not washed by different bloggers and pimps. As military men, we understand what unacceptable damage is. We also have weapons for this, ”said the Belarusian leader.

Lukashenko also called unprecedented the deployment of American tanks and armored vehicles in Lithuania near the Belarusian border.
