MINSK, 11 September (BelTA) – Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko has commented on the incident concerning drones, which flew into Poland, and Poland’s response to it. The comments were made as the president heard out a report from Belarus’ Permanent Representative to the United Nations Valentin Rybakov, BelTA has learned.
Aleksandr Lukashenko said: “You see what has been going on recently. Drones in flight. Even we [were rebuked]. These drones did not fly to us. We saw to where these drones were flying. We shot down everything we could. These drones. But a handful remained. We immediately informed Poland. Well in advance. As much as it was possible. What did we get as a result? Listen, they are like savages. They inflate tensions for no reason. I guess they want us to respond to it in an adequate manner. Well, I have warned one thousand times already that we don’t want any wars and conflicts. We don’t want borders to be closed. But if we are faced with the fact, we will be forced to respond.”
“I have already said before that Poles are smart people. They will not allow all kinds of fluctuations from people like Tusk, Nawrocki, Duda and so on. He got smarter. He didn’t become the president. I mean Duda. And he dropped some interview. He was the first war monger calling for the war in Ukraine. Now he accuses Ukraine. What is this? Well, it is their problems. Our job is to defend the country.”
