Alexander Lukashenko: Belarus is not going to escalate relations with Ukraine

Belarus does not intend to exacerbate relations with Ukraine. Our policy will be based on the principles of good neighborliness.

This was stated by President Alexander Lukashenko during his meeting with the politician and statesman of Ukraine Alexander Moro. The politician is a frequent guest in Belarus, especially in Minsk. More than once he said directly that Ukraine never had and will never have a closer ally than Belarus. He is ready to promote his position even today. Minsk and Kiev are going through a difficult period in bilateral contacts. At the same time, our country has never turned away from its southern neighbor. And today, despite attacks of the official authorities, Belarus is not interested in a mirror response.

Alexander Lukashenko is sure: the Western track is obvious in exacerbation of Belarusian-Ukrainian relations. Their goal is to unleash a hot conflict with the hands of others. Hysteria in the media, including the Belarusian-Russian exercises, is only one of the tools of information warfare, which the West does not hesitate to use today. By the way, Alexander Lukashenko announced that he would soon meet with his Russian counterpart. Together with Vladimir Putin, they will decide, when and within what time frame the withdrawal of the Russian Armed Forces from Belarus will take place.
