"You want peace - get ready for war": Lukashenko said why he conducts military exercises near Ukraine (video)
This is how I want to respond to the various survives that appear in our society, especially on the Internet, regarding the joint movement of the Armed Forces of Belarus and Russia," he said . The dictator recalled the common army of Belarus and the Russian Federation under the terms of the Treaty on Response to the Threats of the Union State. Both armies, according to him, conduct training, which, because of "difficult situation and threats" have become larger. "We are training in our territory.
We move where we consider it necessary to joint the armed forces and our armed forces. A point. No other design, no conspiracy," he said. Oleksandr Lukashenko does not reject aggression against Belarus. He allegedly saw this trend from neighbors. "We know who pushes in the back (or at the other point of the body) of these neighbors in order to create tension on our borders," the dictator commented. In the Belarusian army, as Lukashenko said, there is an "instant response" forces.
In a rapid period of time, they are raised by anxiety and sent to the conflict area. "These forces of immediate response I decided to check," Lukashenko said. We will remind that on December 21 there was information about the transfer to the border with Ukraine of the Brest region of Belarus echelon with Russian military equipment in the amount of 46 units. 31 T-72B3 and T-80 tanks, as well as 13 Ural trucks, were delivered to the border.
