The possibility of the involvement of Belarus, Russia’s only ally in Europe, in the invasion of Ukraine worries Russia and the international community. To the point that Kyiv would have offered him a non-aggression pact. At least that is what President Alexander Lukashenko stated on Tuesday, in a statement quoted by the Belarusian news agency Belta and broadcast on Telegram.
“I don’t know why they do this”
“They are offering us a non-aggression pact,” the leader said, continuing: “They are asking us not to fight Ukraine in any way, so our troops don’t go there.”
An alleged move that Alexander Lukashenko considered contradictory to the invaded nation’s attempts to strengthen its weapons, particularly the German Leopard 2 tanks, thanks to the support of its partners. “I don’t know why the Ukrainians do this,” Alexander Lukashenko wondered.
According to Belta, the dictator mentioned this Ukrainian openness during a meeting with
government officials and representatives of the security services.
