This arms traffic is already coming from Ukraine, this is a disaster ... And it began before the refugees.

And we have already shown these caches on TV, we have detained people, ”he said.

As noted by Lukashenka, in particular, there was a case when one cache was recorded near Minsk.

In early July, the President of Belarus instructed the border troops to completely close the border with Ukraine due to the arrival of an impressive amount of weapons from the neighboring state.
