Thus, he commented on the data on the possibility of deploying NATO troops on Ukrainian territory near the southern border of Belarus.
“There are now 120 thousand Ukrainians in the Ukrainian direction. They want to take them away and throw them to the front against Russia. And here, there is talk - to line up French or NATO troops on our southern border,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
According to him, these military personnel will not defend Ukraine.
At the same time, Lukashenko noted that NATO forces are currently concentrated at the Pabradė training ground in Lithuania, including the American and German military, which, according to the Belarusian leader, in reality will not defend the Lithuanians if something happens.
“Do you think that the Germans and Americans came here and in the event of a clash with the Belarusians and Russians they will defend Lithuania? Yes, this has never happened. And they will not protect. At the first serious situation, they will run away from the battlefield,” he emphasized.
Earlier, Lukashenko called rumors about plans of Russia and Belarus to attack the West nonsense.
