According to Lukashenko, he was allegedly embarrassed by a large number of military personnel (25 thousand), who arrived from the Russian Federation to Belarus to participate in the Russian-Belarusian military exercises, and he learned about the beginning of the war from the video message of the illegitimate president of Russia Vladimir Putin.
Since the exercises took place in the south of Belarus, after their end, the Russian troops passed through the “complex” border with Ukraine and along the Leningrad -Odessa road, according to Lukashenko, “entered” for “several hours” to Ukraine.
“Why did the troops of Russia through Kyiv go to the east of Russia? Why did Putin bring them through Kyiv to Russia? Well,, This is K. [президенту Украины Владимиру] Zelensky is a question to Putin, ”said Lukashenko.
Lukashenko is not doing similar statements for the first time. In October 2024, in an interview with BBC News, he said that he allegedly did not allow Russia to attack Ukraine from the territory of Belarus. According to him, Putin began to withdraw these troops along the road along the border with Ukraine and at some point transferred part of these troops to Kyiv. He said that Putin was “provoked.” Who exactly and how – I did not specify.
