Belarusians must prevent their country from being fully involved in Russia's war against Ukraine, as this would be a big strategic mistake, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned in an interview with Polish TV channel TVP.

“The task of Russia is to draw Belarus into a full-scale war against Ukraine on our territory. I believe that the task of Belarus is not to do this. This is not our task, but theirs - to save the country. I think so, and the place of Belarus on the map of civilized countries in the future will depend on this.. This will be a very serious strategic, historical mistake (the complete involvement of Belarus in the war on the side of the Russian Federation - ed.. ),” Zelensky said..

The President noted that Ukraine’s relations with Russia can already be forgotten, since the Russian Federation chose aggression, which led to a huge tragedy for the Ukrainian people. And Belarus can still avoid the role that Russia has chosen for itself.

“Anyway, we are neighbors.. Belarus will somehow influence geopolitics in our region.

This country is our neighbor and Poland's neighbor, so it is important for us and Poland. This concerns security guarantees in our region and security guarantees throughout Europe,” Zelensky stressed..

Will Russia start another invasion of Ukraine from the territory of Belarus? Will the Belarusian military take a direct part in the war? Are all Lukashenka's statements aimed at intimidating Ukrainians and made by him at the suggestion of Putin, who raises the stakes? Read about this in the article by Vladimir Kravchenko "
