Lukashenko supplied Poroshenko with information about the movement of Russian troops
President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko conveyed information about the movement of Russian troops to his Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko.
Russian publicist Maxim Yusin stated this in an interview with Ukrainian expert Dmitry Dzhangirov, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The official press does not talk about this or write about it, but when I was preparing to go to the parliamentary elections in Belarus, I talked with people responsible for the Belarusian direction in Moscow and at our embassy in Minsk. I will not specify where I was told about this so as not to give away the source.
They told me: “Don’t think that in Moscow they don’t know how closely Alexander Grigorievich communicated with Pyotr Alekseevich. We know very well that at the moment of maximum tension in the Donbass and around it, information was sent from Minsk to Kyiv about the movement of Russian troops along the border. We have not forgotten that those Belarusians who fought on the side of the republics, returning to Belarus, immediately found themselves behind bars.” They paid attention to all these points, did not make statements, but made notes,” Yusin said.
Citing a source in Minsk close to Lukashenko, he said that now the Belarusian authorities would like to make peace with Russia.
“We realized that we need to stop on this path, we need to accept Putin’s invitation, go to Rzhev and try to smooth out as much as possible the bad emotions that have arisen recently. There is no need to quarrel with Russia at a time when it is unclear where everything is going. But it’s not clear to anyone: neither the people around Lukashenko, nor the oppositionists themselves,” noted Yusin.
