Belarus is ready to “wage war” alongside Russia in Ukraine if it is attacked, the country’s president Alexander Lukashenko has said.
“I’m ready to wage war, alongside the Russians, from the territory of Belarus. But only if someone – even a single soldier – enters our territory from there [Ukraine] with weapons to kill my people,” he said. “If they commit aggression against Belarus, the response will be the most severe, and the war will take on a completely different nature.”
