Belarus is preparing for war, but its President Alexander Lukashenko will oppose the full-scale involvement of the country in this war to the last, Ukrainian Ambassador to Belarus Igor Kizim said in an interview with European Pravda.

“The question is what kind of war is Belarus preparing for Officials say that they are going to defend themselves, and they are not going to attack anyone,” he said and immediately stressed that when it comes to the threat from Belarus, it is not only about the Belarusian army.

“The presence of Russian troops on the territory of Belarus is the main risk. I said this from the very beginning: as long as Russian troops are present there, there will be a threat from there,"

Kizim noted that now the Russian and Belarusian troops are exchanging experience, so the question arises about the goals of this process..

At the same time, he assured that neither Lukashenka personally nor the Belarusians are planning a war at all..

“Just like Ukraine is not Russia, Belarus is also not Russia. Belarusian society has always been built on the concept: " But we will protect ourselves. It's written on their backs. Therefore, any aggressive, offensive actions will not be perceived positively by the Belarusian society.. And the authorities should take this into account,” the ambassador said..
