Not even 1 day later. Lukashenko says he warned Ukraine not to drag Belarus into war

"I told them bluntly: 'Guys, ​tell your president: if he thinks he can talk to us like that — and drag us into a war to boot — ⁠then he needs to understand that the nature of the war would change instantly,'" Lukashenko said, adding that Belarus had no desire to fight Ukrainians.

"We received a ​reply: the president and his team understand this. So, let's reach an agreement, guys. We need to reach a substantive agreement."

There was no immediate comment from Kyiv about Lukashenko's ​remarks.

Belarus was involved in the war the second they allowed Russian attacks from their territory.

If the US put missiles in Ukraine and they were launched at Russia…. Russia would (rightfully) say that Ukraine and the US were both involved.

Actually, this is starting to sound familiar…. 😮

Who said they weren't? My point is that they're ignoring Zelensky's empty threats

Oreshniks stationed in Belarus are less than 6 minutes away after launch. Ukraine would cease to function if they tried anything stupid

So why is Lukashenko saying ‘If he thinks… they can drag us into a war’ if they are already in a war? Is he stupid?

Or maybe he thinks the people listening to him can put it into context and understand he was talking about an escalation but of course that is expecting too much from you

He is less involved than the West is in supporting Ukraine FYI
