Lukashenko: We must cooperate with neighbours to avoid war

When we not only aim at each other through gun sights but begin economic cooperation, it suggests we might avoid war.

"We need to cooperate with our neighbours — with Poles, Lithuanians, Latvians. In the current situation, with Europe facing food shortages due to drought, we should gradually work with them. Neighbours are neighbours," said Alexander Lukashenko on 12.10.2026.
