Lukashenka allowed the war for Western Ukraine

The authorities of Belarus do not rule out that the armies of Western countries can supposedly enter its territory, therefore Minsk does not rule out a war for Western Ukraine. This is stated in the statement of the press service of Alexander Lukashenko.

The West has not yet abandoned the goal of leveling the front so that it passes: Smolensk-Pskov, Smolensk-Bryansk-Kursk and there to Rostov. They need to level the front. And we, almost a thousand kilometers, this balcony, it must be cut off, - Alexander Lukashenko said.

At the same time, he said that "this is their goal - they will not stop before this."

They will come from Ukraine or somewhere else. Also, maybe they will have to fight for western Ukraine so that they don’t chop off. Because it is like death for us, not only for Ukrainians. Terrible processes are happening around, - he added.

It is known that Belarus intends to increase the size of its army to 80,000 people. Namely, by creating a southern group of troops on the border with Ukraine.

Now there are 45,000 servicemen in the Armed Forces of Belarus. In the reserve - 290 thousand, semi-military - another 110 thousand people.

Thus, in terms of the number of reserves, Belarus ranks 13th among 142 countries whose military potential is difficult to assess. By the number of paramilitaries - 19th place.
