When asked if Putin had asked to send Belarusian troops to help Russia, Lukashenka replied that no, because it would provoke many more problems.
Never. Why? Russia perfectly understands that if we openly get involved in this war, we will have more problems. We have a 1500 km border. How much do they have there? 900 km - they are fighting, and another 1500. Russia understands that it will be difficult for us to hold this border, given that not only Ukrainians will fight against us along 1500 km, this will be a reason for NATO troops to enter Ukraine
He also compared Belarus to North Korea, stating that North Korea has nothing to worry about when sending its troops, as they are far away and can feel safer.
Therefore, this is not North Korea, it is far away, it will take time to get there. It takes 20 minutes for an intercontinental missile to fly over. And here it's 2 minutes
