– But all this may not have existed. Just like the area itself. We remember it well and know it well. Local lands and people have repeatedly become bargaining chips in political games. After many years of being here, I have to say that the Grodno region and the Belarusians living here will never again be a bargaining chip for politicians, he stressed.
Alexander Lukashenko mentioned Poland. “We have no intention of escalating the situation.”
“Sovereign Belarus is firmly standing on its own two feet,” he declared. Refers to information that his country wants to engage in armed conflict with neighboring countries. -Unlike Western officials, we understand that there are all kinds of contradictions, even if the shores are different, but the most important thing is the ability to build bridges, he said .
– Believe me, we are not de-escalating the situation. Russia will not attack Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, or Ukraine through Belarus. This is complete nonsense, said the self-styled president of Belarus.
