(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER 15 - "I do not know the secrets of the contacts between Putin and Lukashenko. But it is clear that Lukashenko does what he does because he is counting on the strong support of Russia.
Lukashenko could not do what he is doing without a strong support from Russia . I cannot know that there is a connection with the increase of troops in Ukraine. "
This was stated by the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell, responding to those who ask him about possible links between the Chrysibelorussian and the increase of Russian troops on the border with Ukraine.
