MINSK, 1 July (BelTA) - Poland and the Baltic states are turning themselves into a military training ground, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during a solemn assembly held on 1 July in anticipation of Independence Day, BelTA has learned.
“Lithuania and Poland are diligently building up defenses. Poland is buying military equipment around the world. All expenses are financed by the taxes of its citizens and the loans. By Americans or at their behest. They are throwing themselves into new military alliances, in fact hostile to us,” the head of state said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko recalled that France and Poland signed an agreement on enhanced military cooperation. Poland plans to conclude a similar agreement with the UK soon. “Mind you: two nuclear powers,” he said.
“No one wants to remember how the Drang nach Osten by ‘Hitler’s European Union’ (as they say now) ended. Therefore, Poland and the Baltic states are tuning into another military training ground after Ukraine. This is the only status that our closest neighbors are of interest to the West. Did Germany create an army to fight on its own soil? No. You see a proxy war in Ukraine. In the same way, they want to fight against us, including against Ukraine (we, the Slavic peoples, have always been on their way). They want to fight on foreign soil, in this case Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland. So this is the only role the West sees for these states. If they want to disappear from the world map again, it will be their choice!” the Belarusian leader said.
The head of state noted that Belarus urged to stop the fratricidal war that began in Ukraine after the coup d’etat back in 2015. At the UN Sustainable Development Summit, the president warned that things could go bad for the civilized world. “We don’t know what will happen if we don’t stop,” he said. “You see: they dragged everyone they could into the Ukrainian conflict. Finland and Sweden, the once seemingly peace-loving countries that remained neutral for the past two centuries, were drawn into the North Atlantic Alliance,” the head of state said.
