“Let them live peacefully in the West. We will not fight against anyone if no one touches us. This is the biggest guarantee. We have suffered from the war. We are not an aggressive state. We don't want to fight. Wars have never come from our land. We only suffered from them. As president, I want our people to understand that if something happens, we have something to protect our families and children. I want ordinary human security. And don't expect any attack from us. Especially in Ukraine,” Lukashenko said.
He added that if Belarus needs to attract Russians to its aid, it will be done instantly.
“And we worked it out during these exercises. We don't hide it. But we are not going to attack anyone. But if they hit us in the face, we will respond,” Lukashenko said.
Let us remind you that the Russian-Belarusian military exercises “Zapad-2017” take place from September 14 to 20.
