Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko commented on troop deployments in Ukraine.
He threatened the neighboring country with "reactions".
Minsk - The Belarusian ruler Alexander Lukashenko rejects a troop deployment in the Ukraine conflict.
Russia will not be supported by Belarusian soldiers, Lukashenko said in a recent speech.
Belarusian help is not needed.
Nevertheless, one could hear Lukashenko's loyalty to Putin.
He also spoke of an "operation" instead of a war.
Belarus had not sent any troops of its own to Ukraine.
Nevertheless, Russian soldiers were able to attack Ukraine from Belarusian territory.
In 2020, Vladimir Putin helped Lukashenko quell protests in his country.
Lukashenko is considered the last dictator in Europe.
Ukraine war: There is “nothing to do” for Belarus in this war
Lukashenko ruled out any intervention in the Ukraine war.
Not out of solidarity with the neighboring country, but because Belarus has “nothing to do” in Ukraine.
They were not "invited".
This probably means that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not mandated any intervention.
The Belarusian dictator stressed that one cannot help Russia in Ukraine.
Putin already has enough soldiers in Ukraine.
Any arms that Belarus could supply would have been bought by Russia and would probably be in worse shape than Russia's equipment.

Ukraine War: Attacks on Belarusian territory
Allegedly, a rocket from Ukraine has hit Belarus in the past few days.
Whether this incident took place cannot be independently verified.
The Ukrainian government has denied the Belarusian allegation.
Accusations against Russia of attacking Belarus with fighter jets in order to provoke Belarus to enter the war came from Kyiv.
Lukashenko said that Ukraine wanted to provoke a Belarusian reaction.
However, Belarus is not stupid enough to do so.
The dictator said: "If we react, we will react properly so that everyone feels it."
