Lukashenko: We don't plan to attack anyone, but must ensure Belarus's security
"Some are trying to accuse us of allegedly planning to attack someone tomorrow. I repeat once again: we do not intend to attack anyone — we are pragmatists. We understand that if we attack someone, say, one of our neighbours, it would be tantamount to suicide. We cannot win a conflict with the 'monsters' surrounding us. So why start a war, if we're being completely honest? But we are obliged to defend every centimetre, every millimetre of our land, our people, and ensure our security," the President said.
