Lukashenko reaffirms support to Russia
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko reiterated on Sunday that Minsk has supported and will continue to support Russia.
"Neither Belarusians nor Russians nor Ukrainians need a war. But we cannot allow Nazism to be revived as a weapon of the collective West directed against the Slavic world," he said during a wreath-laying ceremony that was part of his country's Independence Day observance.
Belarus reinforced the defense at its borders to prevent a "blow to the back of the Russians from NATO troops," according to Lukashenko. "We will do everything to survive and win," he concluded.
