"I would like to hear the information from the Ministry of Defense on the eve of the active phase of the West-2017 exercises, what is the situation in this plan. At the same time, I want to warn: it's enough to justify ourselves - our defenses are defensive, something else. There is an army, there is a joint grouping of Belarus and Russia in the western direction. And if it exists (we did not hide it from anyone), we will teach it to fight. Just in case, "- said the Belarusian leader. "We do not intend to attack anyone. And what will be the teachings - we invited almost everyone. Let them come and look, "- said Alexander Lukashenko..
