The accusations by the Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, whom the EU and the United States do not recognize as legally elected, of training militants on the territory of Ukraine, who are then supposedly sent to Belarus, have no basis and are aimed at distracting attention from the internal political situation in the country, the press said..

" Vladimir Zelensky calls the statements of Alexander Lukashenko groundless, "

He also stressed that the efforts of the Ukrainian authorities are aimed at strengthening security in the country and the return of the temporarily occupied territories of Donbass and Crimea..

According to Nikiforov, the purpose of Lukashenka's unfounded statements is to divert attention from internal events in Belarus..

" But Alyaksandr Lukashenka didn’t have the courage to follow it, ”said the presidential press secretary.

According to him, Zelensky notes that Ukraine remains a loyal friend of the Belarusian people, but does not interfere in the political processes of other states..

" If they do, it will receive an immediate and powerful response from both our state and the international community, "

Earlier, Lukashenko, in a conversation with journalists, said that militants are being trained on the territory of Ukraine, who are later transferred to the territory of Belarus, and also accused the Ukrainian authorities of illegal supply of weapons to Belarus..
