This was reported by the state propaganda agency BELTA. Alexander Lukashenko made the statement at the Day of National Unity in Belarus.

‘I want to warn our opponents, our rivals. And those who do not understand yet. Do not do this. An attack on Belarus is the World War III,’ the self-proclaimed president of Belarus said in a statement.

Lukashenko also added that the US was allegedly preparing to escalate the situation in Belarus.

  • On September 16, the spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Andriy Demchenko, said that no Russian troops were detected on the Belarusian-Ukrainian border, but Ukraine should be prepared for any scenario.
