MINSK, 7 November (BelTA) – Lukashenko has invited Ukrainians to Belarus. A brilliant move, well-known Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko posted on Telegram, BelTA has learned.
According to Diana Panchenko, the fact that millions of Ukrainians have been heading to Russia and Belarus during the special military operation proves that there is no hatred between the peoples, but that propaganda exists. “To put it emotionally, all Ukrainians who do not want to fight for Zelensky but want to work in the Russian Federation should be able to get to the Russian Federation,” she said.
At the same time, discussing security issues, the journalist shared that she often receives messages about the biased checks of Ukrainians arriving in Russia, for example, at Sheremetyevo Airport. “Put yourself in the shoes of a Russian special services officer. Every day, terrorist attacks ordered by the Security Service of Ukraine take place on Russian territory. Let's assume one million Ukrainians are standing at the Russian border. If you let these people in, the Security Service of Ukraine will recruit 0.1% (for instance, by blackmailing them through their relatives in Ukraine). Simple math: for you, this means letting 999,000 wonderful Ukrainians into Russia. But for a special services officer, it means allowing 1,000 potential terrorist attacks. What would you choose in his place?” Diana Panchenko wrote.
At a ceremony to inaugurate the renovated bridge over the Pripyat River in Mozyr on 6 November Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said that Belarus is ready to admit more migrants from Ukraine. “We are open. Please, come, Ukrainians. We will be happy to welcome you. We will provide your families and your children with the same quality of life as Belarusians have in terms of education and healthcare,” the head of state said.
He noted that many displaced persons from Ukraine are already working, including in Gomel Oblast. “We are ready to welcome them. For us, Ukrainians are a blessing. They are very hard-working people who understand us and speak the same language,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
