JAKARTA - Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko says, like many Belarusians, he supports Russia's actions in Ukraine, alluding to Western accusations of being the aggressor.
"Russia cannot lose, Russia cannot suffer defeat there. And I, and many Belarusians, support Russia in this," he said in an open discussion broadcast live on Thursday, launching TASS September 1.
According to the Belarusian leader, "(The West) accuses Russia of being the aggressor."
"And (they accuse) us too. Well, no. If it weren't for the special deterrence operation, then rocket attacks would have been carried out against Belarus first. They needed to drag us into this war," thought Lukashenko.
According to him, "it was not Ukraine that prepared this." "They are preparing for this there in the West, in the United States.
