MOSCOW, 14 March (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko spoke about the windows of cooperation on Belarus' border with Ukraine during his sit-down with TV presenter Olga Skabeyeva for the Rossiya 1 TV channel, BelTA has learned.
The Ukrainian propaganda claims that Ukraine's border with Belarus is currently extremely protected and will be even more protected going forward.
“I know this, they have truly gone to extraordinary lengths to do it. Not even a rooster or a hen can get through this border. They have already mined everything. Mined, barricaded. Well, this is not propaganda, these are idiots spreading falsehoods. On this barricaded border there are windows through which we cooperate with the Ukrainians. We, the Russians, and they [Ukraine] - with us. We exchange hundreds of the dead, hundreds of prisoners of war,” said Aleksandr Lukashenko.
An exchange of the wounded is also underway, and the Ukrainian side is already doing this near Gomel, not somewhere through Poland and Belovezhskaya Pushcha. “They are no longer afraid that Russia is nearby,” the president noted.
According to Aleksandr Lukashenko, the Ukrainian side also wants to conduct these exchanges through Belarus.
The head of state also shared some observations regarding the recent exchange. This particularly concerns those who sustained serious injuries, including amputees. Aleksandr Lukashenko asked Belarusian doctors about their condition, the attitude to the Russians in Ukraine. “Surprisingly, they received qualified medical help in Ukraine. They didn't abandon those who had dirty, festering wounds. No, the Ukrainians provided good medical assistance to wounded Russian prisoners of war on the spot,” he said.
“That means there are normal people there...” the interviewer concluded.
“Doctors and normal people,” Aleksandr Lukashenko confirmed.
