"They (Ukraine - ed.) may have identified 500 targets. Thank you, we have 500 targets for them as well. We have one target, a very serious one, with precise coordinates, located very close to Belarus,"
At the same time, he claims that the Belarusian side is closely monitoring the situation at the border and sees the Ukrainian units stationed there.
According to him, a significant portion of the personnel allegedly consists of mobilized citizens and territorial defense units.
Lukashenko called the Ukrainian military "cannon fodder"
"We see who is standing at the border on the other side. These are people caught in the streets, poor Ukrainians, and soldiers of the so-called territorial defense. Yesterday's workers, machine operators, collective farmers. What kind of warriors are these? This is just cannon fodder,"
He added that the Belarusian authorities "see perfectly well" the situation in the border areas.
