Lukashenko responds to misinterpretations about military maneuvers in Belarus

Head of State Alexander Lukashenko responded to the misinterpretations about the military maneuvers in Belarus. He made the appropriate statements at a meeting on the results of verification of the power block of the country, BelTA informs.

"If you want peace, prepare for war. It was not invented by me and not by you either. With this I want to respond to all sorts of distortions, appearing in our society, especially in the internet, with regard to the movement of the Belarusian armed forces and the joint movement of the Belarusian and Russian armed forces," said the President.

He reminded that Belarus and Russia, under a long-standing agreement, have created a grouping of armed forces to respond jointly to threats to the Union State. "We have been and are training. Now they are more extensive due to the current situation and threats. So we are conducting exercises on our own territory. We move both the joint grouping of armed forces and our own armed forces to where we see fit. Period. No other conspiracy," stressed the Belarusian leader.
