"I told Foreign
Minister (of Poland) who spoke in Minsk that we are not going to fight with
you, which is why do not establish more bases", he said.
MINSK, November 4.
/TASS/. A possible deployment of the US military base in Poland will force
Belarus and Russia to respond in kind, which particularly envisions additional
military infrastructure to be stationed on the Belarusian territory, the
country’s President Alexander Lukashenko said on Sunday.
"I told Foreign
Minister (of Poland) who spoke in Minsk that we are not going to fight with
you, which is why do not establish more bases. Otherwise the Russians and we
will have to respond, meaning we will be forced to deploy something for
standing against you," the BelTA news agency quoted Lukashenko as saying.
He added that
addressing the participants of the Core Group meeting of the Munich Security
Conference earlier this week, he urged western countries to see value in
Belarus. "I told them: see value in Belarus, do not impose sanctions
against us. Both drugs, and mobsters, and radioactive elements, and illegal
migration, all that goes to the west through us, and we tackle them at our own
expense," Lukashenko emphasized.
