Alexander Lukashenko, declared by the Central Election Commission of Belarus as President, confirmed that missiles were launched from the territory of Belarus at positions in Ukraine and said that Donbass is no longer Ukrainian. This is stated in a message on the website of the President of Belarus , Ukrainian News Agency reports.
“Alexander Lukashenko confirmed that rockets were launched from the territory of Belarus at positions in Ukraine, but this was a forced step ,” the message says. Lukashenka told journalists about this on Sunday, February 27, after he voted at the republican referendum on amendments and additions to the Constitution of Belarus.
“At 11 o’clock (in the evening of February 23), on the eve of this conflict (it was already dark), indeed, two or three rockets were launched from the territory of approximately the Chernobyl regions, where Russian troops were on exercises,” Lukashenka said.
He explained this by the fact that on the Ukrainian side, 10-15 km from the border with Belarus, several deployed missile battalions were discovered and, according to intelligence, the Ukrainian side was preparing to strike at the territory of Belarus in the next few minutes, where part of the Russian group remained after the exercises.
“ I did not give them orders to launch rockets. I said, "Yes, guys, we see it." And then the Russians fired two or three missiles at these positions. After that, there were no positions. But who is to blame? ", - he said.
Lukashenka also said that Donbass is no longer Ukrainian.
As Ukrainian News Agency reported, the press secretary of President Volodymyr Zelensky, Serhiy Nikiforov, said that Ukraine is not considering Russia's proposal to lay down arms and excludes the possibility of negotiations in Belarus.
Russian troops attacked the state border of Ukraine from Russia and Belarus around 5:00 on February 24.
