Belarusian troops do not take part in Russian military special operation against Ukraine - Lukashenko
Belarusian troops do not take part in the military special operation of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, Oleksandr Lukashenko, who is not recognized as legally elected by the EU and the U.S., said.
"So I read: 'At about 5 am, the state border of Ukraine in the area of Russia and Belarus was attacked by Russian troops supported by Belarus.' Extreme Bastards! Our troops do not take any part in this operation," Belarusian news agency BelTA quoted Lukashenko as saying.
According to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, at about 5:00 am, the state border of Ukraine in the area with the Russian Federation and Belarus was attacked with artillery, heavy equipment and small arms by Russian troops supported by Belarus.
Later, information appeared about a helicopter without identification marks, which, from the side of Belarus, fired at the area of the bridge across the Dnieper in front of Slavutych border checkpoint in Chernihiv region.
