Belarus has supported and will continue to fully support its ally. This was stated by President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko at a meeting with the heads of delegations participating in the XIX meeting of the Council of Heads of Security Agencies and Intelligence Services of the CIS Member States, as reported by a BELTA correspondent.
"Well, against Russia (they are acting in the West. - BELTA note) - there is Ukraine, something else... What do we owe them? What do we owe NATO? We live quietly, peacefully, and do not interfere with anyone," the Belarusian leader emphasized. "I recently communicated with your colleagues from all leading countries - heads of special services. I asked them a direct question: 'What do you want from us? Didn't you know that we have an agreement with Russia, that we have the closest military-political cooperation?' - 'Well, you are helping Russia...' I say: 'We are helping and will continue to help.' We say this openly, we have never hidden it. This is our alliance. Since the time I said that we will not allow shooting the Russians in the back through the territory of Belarus. We adhere to this principle. What was unclear about this before the conflict in Ukraine? Everything was clear and understandable."
Alexander Lukashenko continued: "And you - 50 countries - are supporting Ukraine today." This war has long since turned from a Russian conflict with Ukraine into a war of Russia against the entire "civilized" West. You know, they don't deny it. Well, then what do you want from us? We have supported and will continue to fully support our ally. Exactly the same way as all the states sitting at this table."
"There should be no claims against us. Our policy is transparent, open, and we will always adhere to such a policy. We are forced to defend ourselves and help our allies. This policy will be pursued in the future," the head of state concluded.
