MINSK, 26 January (BelTA) – Poland should not attempt to get involved in Western Ukraine. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the statement while talking to reporters in Minsk on 26 January, BelTA has learned.
“You have a complicated situation. You’ve had a falling out with Germans. There are very serious problems over there. And with us. Do you want to fight on two fronts? You are ready to penetrate Western Ukraine. Don’t try. You will have to deal with Belarus and with Russia then. Don’t get involved in Ukraine. Western Ukraine is Ukraine. It will never be Poland anymore. Just like Western Belarus,” the head of state said in response to a question by a Polish reporter.
He also noted that Poland would be unable to always be friends with the USA. He urged to pay attention to mending relations with neighbors, next to which Poland will have to live forever. “You will have to live with us forever. With Russia, with us, with the Baltic states. You don’t have very good relations with Lithuania either. And with Ukraine. We see it. Why do you want it? Do you want to be a pillar of the USA in Europe? A big mistake. Poles will not support this policy,” Aleksandr Lukashenko is convinced.
He once again urged Poland to mend fences: “If you want things to be totally good, you should lift the sanctions. Let’s cooperate with each other.”
