Lukashenko: United States, EU failed to rally the world against Russia, Belarus

The United States and the EU failed to rally the world against Russia and Belarus. So new provocations will follow, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a meeting in the run-up to Independence Day in Minsk on 2 July, BelTA has learned. «The United States and the West failed to unite the world against Russia and Belarus. So new provocations will follow,» Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed.

The president noted that all the processes in Ukraine are run by the United States and Europe. «Now it is called the European Union, or rather NATO. First of all, they want the war to continue to bog us and the Russia down in this war.

So that we do not care about other places in the world. Most importantly: through Russia they want to get closer to the main rival — China,» the head of state said. However, the United States has not been able to rally the world, the president stated: «Look: the Middle East, Pakistan, India, China, the nuclear powers, and Asia stay calm.

Let's be honest: some are waiting but do not support what NATO is doing in Ukraine, or do not support the actions that are dragging people into this war, which in fewer than 200 days has already killed, probably 10 times more people than in the war Afghanistan in 10 years. The West needed new provocations to show Belarusians and Russians in a terrible light, the head of state believes. Among such provocations were the events in Bucha, the situation around the export of grain from Ukraine, the blocking of cargoes to the Russian Kaliningrad.

»Where is Bucha today? They are yet to present a single piece of evidence: who was killed, how they were killed," the Belarusian leader recalled. “They continued with grain, famine. How to turn Africa against Russia, Belarus?
