Dramatic Shift: Lukashenko Prepares Belarus for Potential War with Russia - UATV English
Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko has issued a stark warning about potential attempts to occupy Belarus, emphasizing the country's sovereignty. He questioned the need for closer ties with Russia, stating that both nations already cooperate within the Union State. Furthermore, Lukashenko expressed skepticism about Putin's efforts to involve North Korean troops in the war against Ukraine, indicating that Belarusian forces would not engage in combat in Ukraine. This development raises critical questions about Belarus's role as a key ally to Russia and its commitment to the ongoing conflict.
