Only the military can strike with an edge and say: “No, let’s negotiate, because Ukraine will be wiped off the face of the earth,” Lukashenka said (quote according to TASS). He added that “Ukraine is being divided.” In particular, according to him, the Poles are interested in the western territories of the country.
