WALL – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko has ordered the army ‘time of war’.
Lukashenko, in his meeting with State Security Council Secretary Aleksandr Volfovic, stated that they created a defense area with Russia and that in fact, the two countries are actually joint armed forces.
Stating that Belarusian society should defend itself and know what their actions will be, Lukashenko said, “There is no need to blame us by implying that we will fight in Ukraine. We need to protect our homeland. And as for support for Russia, I reaffirm it. There should not be and will not be any blows from the rear, from the side, from the flanks against Russian troops over Belarus. “This is our obligation to our ally,” he said.
‘CONDITION IS VERY SERIOUS’
“The situation is very serious. I would even say dangerous, and in no case should we loosen things up. There is no need to fear anything. We need to alert some military units according to wartime standards,” Lukashenko said.
Expressing that there is a need to strengthen the ‘homeland defense’ and prepare volunteer people’s militias, that these militias are in the formation stage, Lukashenko asked for action to be taken to control how these forces are combatants and what kind of weapons they have. (EXTERNAL NEWS)
