Lukashenko on Latvia's claim of armed group incursion: 'Latvians did it themselves'

«This was done by the Latvians themselves,» Lukashenko said, commenting on Latvia's accusation of an armed group crossing from Belarus. «We know perfectly well — I have already been briefed — that this was carried out as an information pretext to get money from the European Union by the Latvians themselves. We have nothing to do with it — that allegedly we penetrated their territory, people in masks, military, someone was caught or some migrant group was pushed there. You couldn't invent a greater stupidity.»
