He stressed that the people of Belarus do not want to take part in hostilities outside the country, but Minsk will remain ready to defend itself in case of an external threat.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<div class=\"summary-title\">Briefly about the main points<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Lukashenka said that Belarusians would not be sent to fight in Ukraine.<\/li>\n<li>Belarus sees no need to get involved in the war on the territory of Ukraine.<\/li>\n<li>Minsk is ready to defend Belarus together with Russia in case of aggression.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Lukashenka's statement on unwillingness to send Belarusians to war<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Alexander Lukashenko<\/strong> said that Belarus has no plans to get involved in the war in Ukraine. According to him, there is neither a military nor a civilian need for the Belarusian military to take part in hostilities outside the country. The leader called the possible involvement of Belarusian soldiers in the conflict \u00abminced meat\u00bb and asked whether it was worth fighting \u00abat the behest of someone else\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>He also addressed not only Belarusians, but also neighbouring nations - Poles, Lithuanians and Ukrainians, emphasising that the majority of Belarusian citizens do not support participation in the war, reports <a href=\"https:\/\/news.by\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News.by<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Minsk's position on the alliance with Russia and defence preparedness<\/h2>\n<p>Despite denying any involvement in hostilities, Lukashenka stressed his readiness to defend the territorial integrity of Belarus in the event of external aggression. He confirmed the existence of a military alliance with Russia and the possibility of <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/world\/bilorus-iaderni-navchannia-rf\/\">joint action<\/a> in the event of an attack on Belarusian territory.<\/p>\n<p>The leader has repeatedly emphasised that the country is preparing for potential military challenges, but does not seek to unleash wars.<\/p>\n<h2>Reaction to the context of the war in Ukraine<\/h2>\n<p>Lukashenka's statement came amid Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine and discussions about the possible involvement of Belarusian troops in the conflict. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Belarus has been <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/main-news\/rosiya-atakuye-trasu-kyiv-chop-belorus\/\">provided its territory<\/a> for Russian troops and missile launches, but the Belarusian armed forces did not take direct part in the fighting.<\/p>\n<p>Experts believe that such statements are aimed at demonstrating a desire to avoid an open front and maintain stability in the country and the region.<\/p>\n<h2>The significance of the statement for regional security<\/h2>\n<p>Lukashenka's speech demonstrates the Belarusian authorities' desire to distance themselves from direct involvement in the war, while at the same time leaving open the possibility of military cooperation with Russia in case of a threat. This maintains tensions in the region and keeps uncertainty about further developments.<\/p>\n<p>Such positions of Minsk are important for assessing security risks in Eastern Europe and determine further diplomatic steps by neighbouring countries and international partners.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041f\u0440\u0435\u0437\u0438\u0434\u0435\u043d\u0442
