“You, probably, have already read all this conspiracy: they say that this third country wanted to arrange a provocation, to push Belarus and Russia against each other. Look, maybe, but what does it matter to me who provoked this? I work after the fact ... I don't care at the moment who provoked, who sent here, ”RIA Novosti quotes Lukashenko.
He stressed that "the main thing is that they do not start a fire here, in the center of Minsk."
As noted by the Belarusian president, Minsk will take into account this situation and build relations “based on these aspects as well”.
Earlier, Lukashenko said that he had received a letter from his Russian colleague Vladimir Putin outlining the facts around the situation with the Russians detained in the republic.
According to him, "The Investigative Committee is considering these facts."
At the end of July, it became known about the detention of 33 Russians in Belarus. They are suspected of preparing riots. The Investigative Committee of Russia began checking in connection with the situation.
As noted by the Russian Ambassador to Minsk Dmitry Mezentsev, there are facts that indicate that the detention of citizens was a provocation organized from a third country.
