Lukashenko stated when Belarus might enter the war against Ukraine

Belarus’s self-proclaimed “president,” Alexander Lukashenko, has stated that Belarus is prepared to take action in the event of threats to the so-called “common homeland with Russia.” According to him, Minsk may join the hostilities only under certain conditions related to the security situation.

This is reported by Belarusian media.

"As for his (Volodymyr Zelenskyy – UNIAN) statements that Belarus will be dragged into the war, I just said: it will be dragged in only in one case – if an act of aggression is committed against our territory," Lukashenko said, without specifying, however, what exactly is meant by "aggression."

The Belarusian dictator noted that together with Putin, he would “defend our Motherland from Brest to Vladivostok.”
 

At the same time, Lukashenko assured that Belarus “has no intention” of getting involved in a war against Ukraine, because “there is no need for this, neither civil nor military.”
