President Alexander Lukashenko said on Thursday that Belarus would join the offensive in Ukraine “only” if attacked first by Kyiv’s army.
MINSK, Belarus –
“This applies to our other neighbours,” Lukashenko said. “If they commit an aggression against Belarus, our response will be the most cruel.

Russian President Vladimir Putin last month said he backed plans to set up joint military training centres with Belarus.
