“It’s complete nonsense. We are not going to attack them. We are building a defense system here. They are waiting for it. They provoke us so that we at least somehow respond to them,” BELTA quotes him as saying.
As an example, the Belarusian leader cited the situation with the transfer of sabotage groups across the border with Ukraine.
“They are interested in starting this war. Stupid people... We don't need this war. But if they move, we will respond very seriously,” Lukashenko added.
Previously, he stated that any provocation on the border must be stopped militarily.
Lukashenko also spoke about the concentration of NATO troops near the country’s borders and said that if Minsk calms down somewhere, “they will attack.”
