Ukraine is said to have attacked Belarus, claims Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko. So far, however, there is no independent evidence of this.
Amid speculation about Minsk’s growing involvement in the Kyiv-Moscow conflict, Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko has accused Ukraine of launching rocket attacks on his country. “We are being provoked. About three days ago, maybe more, an attempt was made from Ukraine to attack military targets in Belarus,” Lukashenko said on Saturday, according to the state news agency Belta.
“Thank God our air defense systems intercepted all missiles fired by the Ukrainian troops,” Lukashenko said. “As I said more than a year ago, we have no intention of fighting in Ukraine,” he added.
Ukraine War: Belarus served as a base for Putin’s army
After the Kremlin’s offensive against Ukraine began on February 24, Belarus served as a base for Russian forces. From there they tried to take the capital Kyiv before retreating at the end of March due to Ukrainian resistance.
In view of massive Western sanctions, the government in Minsk is heavily dependent on Russia, both militarily and economically. Last week, Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin promised Lukashenko the delivery of nuclear-capable missile systems “in the coming months”.
