According to Lukashenko, the Russian army launched an offense from Belarus's territory for the purpose of the premiere. He said, "Why do you (NATO) deploy four divisions on the border? Why do you target us? You want to say that I should sit and ignore it, and wait until the missiles start to fall on the Belarusian people? No, I can't."

He said in the interview: "I support Russia to take action than you first. If they missed the moment, they would have to face a large -scale blow from NATO instead of Ukraine. It is you, you are your mercenary and your weapons. So, you are the invaders, not me. "

Lukashenko also said that Belarus did participate in Russia's military operations, but the role was to protect Russia. He said, "Yes, we participated in the operation, but what did we do? We are defending the west and southwestern parts of Belarus, so that you will not stab the Russians behind the back. Indeed, we treat the wounded and set the dead. We provide drugs to Ukraine and Russians, and are still the same. This is why we participate in this operation. We are not killed. "

Regarding the cause of the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict, Lukashenko believes that the crisis was provoked by Western countries. He said: "You have seen the reason for this war. If Russia does not do it in NATO, you will organize and attack Russia. You are the first root of the war. You are still continuing this war."

According to the President of Belarusian, if Western countries provide "the security guarantee he had asked" to Putin, the conflict can be avoided. "Why don't you provide these guarantees? This means that you want this war."

You should ask me about this problem, and there are thousands of (foreign soldiers) in your territory. "He pointed out that no Russian military personnel may come to Belarus without invitation. Lukashenko also asked: "If I ask them to help them, what sovereignty and independence did they violate?"
