Lukashenko: Belarus and Russia do not want war

MOSCOW, 18 February (BelTA) - We do not want war, but if someone does, our response will be asymmetric, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko told the media after he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on 18 February, BelTA has learned.

“We do not want war, but if someone does, the response will be totally asymmetric. I think everyone in the world understands that. We will act appropriately, defending the safety of our peoples and our states,” said the head of state.

“I absolutely agree with Vladimir Vladimirovich that they are trying to tear us apart, to divide, and not only Russia and Belarus but all those states that seek unity. This is wrong. It will not work. Kazakhstan is a vivid example of that,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
