“I see that the Russian leadership today is acting in the same vein in the western direction, I mean, we have a joint grouping of armed forces in the west, which ensures the security of our fatherland - Belarus and Russia. And at the heart of this grouping are parts of the Belarusian army. In the event of a conflict, they are the first to fight, and in a short time units that are concentrated in the west of the Russian Federation are being pulled here, ”he continued.
“We don’t hide it from our western colleagues, partners, competitors. They are well aware of our agreements with Russia, ”Lukashenka noted.

“Everything is in our hands, do not lie to our peoples. If we want to be together, we will always be, ”he concluded.
