Military expert Oleg Zhdanov made this statement on the “Kyiv” TV channel.
“Russia demands that Lukashenko urgently begin the formation of a joint grouping of troops of the Union State. According to all agreements, the combined armed forces of the Union State will be subordinate to the General Staff of the Russian Federation. Lukashenko will not have any influence over these troops,” said military expert Oleg Zhdanov.
During a meeting with Russian Defense Minister Shoigu, Lukashenko once again complained about Western countries and their “unfair policies” towards Belarus, according to NEXTA.
“Of course, you know that the Western countries have trampled all these treaties, agreements, and statements, and there is no security. That’s why I raised this issue in negotiations with the President of Russia. Overall, it sounded like in case of aggression against Belarus, the Russian Federation defends Belarus as its own territory. We need such guarantees”, said dictator Lukashenko.
