Lukashenko: Belarus does not intend to attack anyone, but will defend every millimeter of land

© Once again, I repeat: we do not intend to attack anyone; we are pragmatists.

"We understand that if we attack someone (let's say, one of our neighbours), it would be akin to death. We cannot win a conflict with the 'monsters' surrounding us — the states along our perimeter. So why start a war at all, if we're being completely honest? But we are obliged to defend every centimetre, every millimetre of our land, our population, and ensure security.

This is our task, no matter the cost. Even if it costs us our lives. We must prepare for this — and we are preparing."

Alexander Lukashenko, 11.09.2026
