We are forced to strengthen our border guards with Ukraine, which we regret.
Lukashenko said that the "Slavic Brothers-2020" military exercise was recently held with Russia in the western region of Belarus.
I don’t want the lands of Belarus, Poland, and Lithuania to become battlefields for military operations, so I hope that the people of Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine will stop the crazy politicians in their country and prevent war from breaking out.
Lukashenko said that no one cheated in the presidential election and no one can forge 80% of the votes.
Belarus held elections in accordance with relevant laws.
The election is completely legal, and we don’t need others to acknowledge the result of the election.
