MINSK, 24 December (BelTA) - Belarus serves as Russia's outpost, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said in an interview with editor-in-chief of the Ekho Moskvy radio station Aleksei Venediktov on 24 December, BelTA informs.
“I said this at our latest meeting. I said that we are Russia's outpost. I asked the president [Vladimir Putin] the question: do you really think we will let tanks go towards Moscow should they decide to invade. Of course I am speaking figuratively here. They do not use tanks for warfare today. They do not start with tanks, tanks are used later”, the Belarusian leader said.
“But should anyone want to get into some fighting with Russia, we will not stay away”, Alexander Lukashenko emphasized.
