Minsk is not willing to be dragged into the Ukraine conflict, but will fight in case of an invasion of Belarus, President Alexander Lukashenko said on Saturday cited by the BelTA news agency.
"I want to tell those who are worried whether Lukashenko will be fighting there or not. Listen, we will fight - I say it again - only in one case, if you cross that last meter of our land and invade our land," he said at a gala meeting on the eve of Belarus’ Independence Day.
"If you kill our people, we’ll respond," he added.
"Don’t you dare touch my Belarusian people if you still have the sense of self-preservation," Lukashenko stressed.

Ukraine’s Armed Forces attempted to attack military facilities in Belarus several days ago, but the missiles were intercepted, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on Saturday.
"We are being provoked. I have to tell you that three days ago, or maybe a bit earlier, there was an attempt to hit military facilities on Belarusian territory from Ukraine. Thank God, the Pantsyr air defense systems were capable of intercepting all the missiles fired by Ukraine’s Armed Forces," he said at a gala meeting on the eve of Belarus’ Independence Day, cited by BelTA news agency.
